Socially Distanced Ramadan Prayers Are Happening At The Holy Mosques

As lockdown has been eased, people are coming together for prayers, but in a new way.

Footage of prayers at the Grand Mosque in Mecca are being widely shared; people are adjusting to COVID-19 during Ramadan, marking out the importance of prayers, but an acceptable social distance is maintained.

The adjustments were applied for all five prayers and also for Taraweeh

All worshippers keep a physical distance
