10 MOSQUITOES TO GRADUALLY INCREASE THE NUMBER OF WORSHIPERS
Ten mosques in Singapore will gradually increase the number of worshipers to 250 in each session by the end of the year as part of a test.
The selected mosques will offer three prayer zones of 50 people each starting on November 13 and progressively increase the spaces to 250 parishioners in total, the Singapore Islamic Religious Council (MUIS) said on Sunday.
This comes after the government announced in September that it is progressively easing measures for religious activities and services.
Prayer goers should use the TraceTogether app or the SafeEntry record token.
