Muslims returned to mosques for the first Friday prayers in over three months yesterday, while continuing to observe social distancing and other guidelines from the Ministry of Health (MoH).

Congregants are allowed to perform prayers in mosques, including the five daily prayers as part of the nation’s Transition Phase beginning yesterday.

Congregants were seen wearing face masks, as they lined up to have their BruHealth QR codes scanned and temperatures checked.

Members of the Royal Brunei Armed Forces (RBAF) and the Royal Brunei Police Force (RBPF), along with volunteers and mosque Takmir committee members were on standby to facilitate the flow of congregants at the entrance points.
