Bahrain will continue the suspension of prayers in mosques and mass worship until the COVID-19 cases drop to a certain level as decided by the medical authorities, said the Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (SCIA).
The Council added that people should continue to rise to the highest levels of responsibility and take the health measures seriously for the sake of their families and their country in order to overcome the pandemic and not to repeat the gatherings that took place on Eid Al Fitr, which led to increasing numbers of infections and deaths.
