‘People with travel history should avoid mosques for Friday prayers’
People that have recently arrived in Pakistan from abroad should avoid going to mosques for Friday prayers amid the outbreak of coronavirus in the country, says an Islamic scholar.
“People who have come from foreign countries, especially those who are showing virus’ symptoms, should not come to mosques for Friday congregational prayers,” scholar Mufti Zubair told SAMAA TV on Thursday.
