The Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) administration has appealed the mosques and Imambar-gahs management to strictly observe anti-coronavirus guidelines during prayer timings to avoid the potential risk of the pandemic infection and community transmission at the area.
The ICT teams comprising assistant commissioners, magistrates were paying regular visits at the mosques and Imambarg-ahs to ensure the implementation of anti-coronavirus standard operating procedures (SOPs), additional deputy commissioner, Asif Raheem told media.
He said, he himself was holding meetings with leading Ulema from all sects to apprise them about the Covid-19 SoPs in light of the directions of National Command Operation Center (NCOC).
The Ulemas were asked to highlight SOPs in their sermons and sensitized the public to isolate themselves and observe quarantine if anyone tested positive for COVID-19.
“Covid-19 is a serious issue and whole world is facing this pandemic. So, it was the responsibility of everyone who visit the mosque to demonstrate seriousness towards the situation and strictly adhere to the SOPs, “ the ADC remarked.
