Riyadh : Saudi authorities have closed down 39 mosques in the Kingdom after coronavirus infections were suspected among worshippers or those in charge of the sites, state-media reported.
The decision was taken by the Ministry of Islamic Affairs and Call as part of strict health measures to curb the spread of the highly contagious disease, Gulf news reported on Saturday citing Saudi-owned television Al Arabiya as saying.
Those mosques were being sterilized, Al Arabiya added without specifying their locations.
Last week, Saudi Arabia reopened mosques except in Mecca, in line with a plan to gradually return to normal life. Authorities have put in place a set of precautions for performing group prayers in mosques.
