The rows were lined up again.. the first prayer to be held in the Great Mosque of Mecca without distancing since the beginning of "Corona"
Today, Sunday, the Grand Mosque in Makkah, the first prayer without social distancing, was held since the beginning of the spread of the Corona virus about a year and a half ago, with the start of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia easing the measures related to combating the Corona epidemic.
Video footage published by official media showed the process of removing the distancing stickers inside the corridors, courtyards and facilities of the mosque, before worshipers lined up next to each other to perform the dawn prayer, shoulder to shoulder.
And Saudi Arabia had closed the Grand Mosque in March 2020, then reopened it to pilgrims under strict measures in July, before, after three months, allowing all Muslims to pray in it, but with a limited capacity and distance during prayers.
And today, Sunday, the Grand Mosque returned to receive worshipers at its full capacity and without any distancing, although the muzzle is still mandatory.
Also, touching the Kaaba in the middle of the mosque’s courtyard, as was the case before the virus, is still prohibited.
