>> Avoid family and friends gatherings, especially during Iftar.
>> Avoid distributing and exchanging meals between homes and families.
>> Only members of the same family living in the same house can share meals.
>> Iftar tents - whether family or institutional - are banned.
>> Iftar meals will not be allowed inside mosques.
>> Restaurants are prohibited from distributing Iftar meals inside or in front of their premises.
>> Distribution of the Iftar meals is limited to labour housing complexes via direct coordination with the management. Strict social distancing must be ensured.
According to authorities, all these measures announced are subject to change based on the global and local health situation.
The elderly and people with chronic diseases have been urged to avoid gatherings of any kind, in order to ensure their safety.
