Please See A Doctor If Unwell 

MUIS went on to say that it is possible that all congregants who have visited any of the mosques during “certain timeframes” might have been exposed to a COVID-19 case.

So if you are one of these congregants, you should monitor your health closely for at least two weeks since your last visit to the affected mosque.

Also, please see a doctor immediately if you experience any fever or respiratory symptoms.

You’re also reminded to wear a mask and call the clinic to prepare them for your visit.

“They should also wear a mask and call the clinic ahead of the visit and inform the clinic doctor of their attendance at the affected activities that are linked to a COVID-19 case.”

So far, it has been confirmed that at least 37 Bruneians and 77 Malaysians who have attended the mass gathering in KL or were their close contacts are infected with COVID-19.

“It is possible for more cases to emerge from persons who had visited the mosque, or further spread to their close contacts,” said MUIS.

Measures Taken By Mosques

In an attempt to curb the spread of the COVID-19 infection, 70 mosques will be closed for at least the next five days for thorough cleaning and disinfection.

Friday prayers in Singapore was also suspended for the first time on 13 March as part of the social distancing measures.

All activities, lectures, religious classes, and mosque-based kindergarten sessions will also be cancelled by mosques for the next two weeks so that everyone can monitor the situation further.
