Resumption of worship at Iran mosque 20:35 on May 3 in areas where no new cases have been reported

In Iran, where the new coronavirus is seriously infected, worship at Islamic mosques will resume from 4th, as long as no new cases have been reported.

In late February, the infection with the new coronavirus spread rapidly in Iran, and more than 97,000 people have been confirmed so far and the death toll has exceeded 6,000.

The number of newly confirmed infections once exceeded 3,000 a day, but it has been declining since the beginning of April, reaching about 800 on the second day.

In response to this situation, President Rouhani announced that he will be able to resume worship at closed mosques from the 4th, as long as no new cases have been reported and the risk of spread is low.

On the other hand, some people are worried about the spread of the infection again, and the Iranian government is calling for measures to prevent the infection, such as spacing the worshipers from each other.
