Iran to reopen 127 mosques in areas free of coronavirus

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said on Sunday that the mosques and other religious institutions in 127 cities that have been consistently free of the coronavirus outbreak.

Following the recent outbreak of the coronavirus in Iran, all mosques across the country were closed to maintain social distance.

After a regular meeting of the National Task Force on Coronavirus in Tehran on Sunday, President Hassan Rouhani said the country will be divided up into white, yellow and red regions based on the number of infections and deaths.

In the white areas, religious sites, mosques, and holy shrines would be allowed to reopen and hold Friday prayers under the health guidelines issued to curtail the coronavirus pandemic.

“Tomorrow, if we were told that the city of Mashhad is white, i.e. the Health Ministry came to the conclusion that it would be white for two weeks, then the holy shrine of Imam Reza (AS) would reopen based on the protocols the ministry declares,” he said.

The Health Ministry, he added, should specify the date on which the white risk zones - that are now about 127 counties - can reopen mosques and hold Friday prayers while observing the health protocols.

On Sunday, Health Ministry spokesman Kianush Jahanpur told state TV that the toll rose by 60 over the past 24 hours to 5,710 with 90,481 confirmed cases.
