The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s Islamic Affairs Ministry has announced the closure of 10 masaajid in a number of regions following reports of coronavirus cases among worshipers and employees.
Saudi Gazette reports the Masaajid, Call and Guidance Department in the Al-Dalam governorate was also shut down after the director of the department and six employees were infected with the virus.
The ministry says the period of closure for sterilization will range between 24 hours and 48 hours.
The masaajid will be reopened for worshipers after authorities ensure their fitness to receive worshipers following the sterilization process.
It says in the event of infection of an imam or muezzin, a substitute imam and muezzin will be assigned to carry out the task.
