An ordinary Friday prayer often comes to over 100 people, but now both the Islamic Cultural Association in Falkenberg and the Bosnian Islamic Association in Varberg keep their mosques closed.

The ban on people gathering with more than 50 people, which came into force on March 29, affects, among other things, worship services.

However, in mid-March, both associations decided to end Friday prayers and all activities except, for example, funerals, in order to reduce possible spread of infection.
