Covid-19 Covid-19: Govt. issues notification making masks are mandatory in all places of worship
Dhaka, November 9: The government has imposed a ban on the use of masks in all religious institutions, including mosques, temples, churches and pagodas, to prevent Covid-19 infection. On Sunday (November 8), the Ministry of Religious Affairs issued a notification with instructions in this regard.
According to the directive, it is being noticed with deep concern that the use of masks in other religious institutions including mosques, temples and churches is slowing down. The government has instructed to ensure that masks are worn in all cases, including religious institutions, in the event of a possible second wave of Covid-19 infection.
Make sure all worshipers in the mosque wear masks. Must enter the mosque mike campaign before every prayer to enter after the mask.
Besides, the mosque committee has to ensure the display of banners at the gates of the mosques.
Followers of other religions, including Hindus, Buddhists and Christians, must enter the shrine wearing masks. The concerned worship committee has to ensure that the banner is displayed at the main gate to enter the shrine after the mask. There should be a massive campaign to make the public particularly aware of the 'No Mask No Service'.
The slogan should be displayed in all open spaces and posters or digital exhibitions in government and non-government organisations.
After a while, you have to follow the hygiene rules issued by the health service department including washing your hands with soapy water and follow social distance.
The Ministry of Religious Affairs has requested the officials of the local administration, Islamic Foundation, Hindu Welfare Trust, Buddhist Religious Trust and Christian Religious Welfare Trust and the management committee of the respective mosques and places of worship to continue publicizing the relevant declarations through microphones in all mosques and other religious places of worship in the country.
