Cambodia to Reopen Mosques on September 11

TEHRAN (IQNA) – Mosques in Cambodia will reopen their doors to worshippers every Friday, starting from Sept. 11.

This comes after temporary closure since March due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Health Minister Mam Bunheng said on Saturday.

Worshippers must strictly adhere to the guidelines issued by the Ministry of Health, he said, the Cambodia Daily reported.

“They must wear face masks, have their body temperature checked, regularly wash hands with soap or alcohol- and gel-based sanitizers, and keep social distancing of at least 1.5 meters,” Bunheng said in a press statement.

Cambodia is a country in Southeast Asia.

Islam is the religion of a majority of the Cham and Malay minorities in Cambodia. There are approximately 300,000 Muslims in the country.
