As mosques are set to welcome 50 people per session with guidelines such as:
- 50 worshippers per prayer session
- Half-hour intervals between 2 sessions
- 20-min sermons
- 20-min prayer sessions
- 1-meter social distancing while praying
- Book prayer slots online*
- one person may book a slot per 3-week-durations
All this new norm is a very crucial step to ensure the safety of the public and as further safety measurements, imams are required to don face shield while sharing their message and sermons, plus limited to 20mins duration.
