Mosques in Oman to open in mid November

Our Correspondents

Oman’s Ministry of Awqaf and Religious Affairs has said that, in line with COVID-19 precautionary measures, it will take a suitable decision on the opening of mosques and areas of worship with effect from mid-November 2020. The decision will take consideration of infection peak reports to be issued by the Supreme Committee tasked with tackling COVID-related developments, the Ministry added in its statement on September 28.

According to Oman News Agency, the Ministry reaffirmed its keenness to reopen mosques and worship areas shut down due to COVID-19.

The Supreme Committee, which convened on September 22, expressed anxiety about a surge in infection cases and associated deaths. Oman recorded 607 new cases on September 28, taking its total to 98,057 with 924 deaths.

The Sultanate plans to resume international flights on October 1 and also lift the lockdown in Dhofar governorate, in place since March, on that day.

Public transport resumed on September 27. Last week, health authorities announced that sports activities could be held without spectators.
