Virus: Muslim worshippers pray respecting social distance in deserted Mecca

  • 4 years ago
Muslim worshippers pray while respecting the social distancing restrictions next to the Kaaba in Mecca's Grand Mosque, Islam's holiest site. Saudi Authorities allowed for a limited number of worshippers to enter the Grand Mosque to perform prayers during the Islamic holy fasting month of Ramadan, amid unprecedented bans on family gatherings and mass prayers due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
