Violations of COVID-19 regulations had led to the closure of three more mosques in the Capital Governorate, authorities said. The closures come soon after closing a mosque in the southern governorate for similar violations.

The Ministry of Justice, Islamic Affairs and Endowments blamed the closures on the laxity of those in charge of ensuring preventive measures at the mosques.

The mosques, the ministry said, will remain closed for two weeks to carry out contact tracing and sterilisation process. The ministry called on all in charge of mosques to adhere fully to the health requirements and mandatory COVID-19 protocols.
