Jerusalem's Al-Aqsa mosque and Dome of the Rock will shut their doors as a precaution against coronavirus, Islamic religious authorities have said, according to Reuters.
The director of Al-Aqsa mosque Omar Kiswani told Reuters that “the Islamic Waqf department decided to shut down the enclosed prayer places inside the Al-Aqsa mosque until further notice as a protective measure to prevent the spread of coronavirus. All prayers will be held in the open areas of the Al-Aqsa mosque.”
