Bahrain: Taraweeh prayers performed across mosques with health protocols
Muslims performed Taraweeh (special Ramadan evening prayers) in mosques across Bahrain amid strict precautionary measures to mitigate the COVID-19 pandemic.
Last year, congregation prayers were suspended and worshippers performed the Ramadan prayers at home.
Only Bahrainis and expats who were vaccinated (14 days after the second dose) and those who have recovered from coronavirus were allowed into the mosques designated by the Ministry of Justice, Islamic Affairs and Endowments to conduct Taraweeh that follow immediately the Isha (Evening) prayers.
The worshippers had to show their mobile where the BeAware app electronic certificate proved that they had received the vaccine.
Under the precautionary measures, each worshipper had to bring his own mat and had to perform the prayers keeping the necessary distance from the others.
