Cancellation of Friday prayers at Algeria Mosques due to COVID-19

Algeria’s Ministry of Religious Affairs announced the cancellation of Friday prayers in the country’s mosques as of November 13.

AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Algeria’s Ministry of Religious Affairs announced the cancellation of Friday prayers in the country’s mosques as of November 13.

The move has been taken given the rise in the number of coronavirus infections in Algeria, it said, RT Arabic reported.

Algeria’s Grand Mosque, the world’s third-biggest and Africa’s largest, was launched last month.

The North African country started reopening its mosques in August for the first time in five months, gradually relaxing one of the world’s longer virus confinement periods.

Algeria has recorded more than 63,000 coronavirus infections, with 2,077 deaths.
