“In light of the special situation in our province, where the Western Cape has 65% of national infections and 70% of national deaths, we strongly encourage masajid to remain closed for another month,” the MJC said in a statement on Thursday. “When considering the ability to enforce these procedures, masjid committees must consider the fact that within our hospitals and health facilities, despite the implementation of stringent precautionary measures, there have been over 1 000 infections of healthworkers, including doctors and nurses,” the MJC noted as it explained its decision.
It recommended that mosques which want to open on 1 June, do so with the full knowledge that they can comply with safety regulations.
