Iran to allow Eid al-Fitr prayers in religious centers
Iran has reported 64 new coronavirus-related deaths over the past 24 hours – two more than yesterday, the Ministry of Health said Wednesday.
Health Ministry spokesman Kianush Jahanpur said the death toll in the country now stands at 7,183.
On May 16, Iran reported 35 deaths related to the virus – the lowest figure in 70 days.
During Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, Iran will hold prayers in religious centers, and not at outdoor prayer grounds where worshipers usually gather, the country's state news agency Press TV reported, citing president Hassan Rouhani.
Mosques can, however, be open during the Eid prayers.
