Religious leaders: We expected stricter restrictions
ASJA general secretary Rahimool Hosein. -
RELIGIOUS bodies said they anticipated restrictions to be placed on them given the increasing number of positive cases and are ready to return to virtual fellowship for the next three weeks.
General Secretary of the Anjuman Sunnat-Ul-Jamaat Association (ASJA) Rahimool Hosein said even with Eid-ul-Fitr, which will be celebrated on May 13, the Muslim community is embracing the measures implemented to halt the spread of the virus.
On Thursday the Prime Minister announced that from Friday until May 23, all religious institutions and places of worship will be closed. This restriction is reminiscent of those implemented last year, which eventually was eased to allow for virtual services before moving to 50 percent capacity.
