Health experts have been concerned about the risks of the coronavirus being spread during religious festivals in the world’s biggest Muslim-majority country when people typically gather in mosques and homes, or travel to their home towns. “We know that people rarely go out or they are worried about interacting with others during the Covid-19 pandemic,” said Azmi Abdul Gaffar, 22, who is one of the farm’s owners.
Mahir farm has sold 15,000 goats, sheep and cows via social media platforms ahead of the festival that starts on Friday, accounting for at least 80% of the season’s profit, Gaffar said.
