The Islamic authorities in Kuwait are planning to reopen Mosques while observing health precautions against the new coronavirus.
The Mosques remain shut as part of stringent restrictions that are in place at present, to curb the spread of novel coronavirus in Kuwait.
Minister of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs, Fahd Al Afasi, directed the study of proposals pertaining to potential return of the faithful to Mosques.
The proposed plan includes gradual reopening of Mosques with those in thinly populated areas to be the first. Mosques in densely populated areas including industrial zones, clubs and markets will be kept for a later stage.
Reopening of Mosques will be done as per strict preventive measures, including sterilising the sites before and after prayers, the reports said.
Although worshippers were still barred during Eid Al Fitr, the Mosques in Kuwait were allowed on Sunday, to pronounce the Eid takbeers through the loudspeakers.
