Dhaka, Bangladesh - April 07, 2020: Bangladeshi Muslim people attend in a prayer at a mosque in Dhaka, Bangladesh, April 7, 2020. Bangladesh on Monday suspended all prayers, including Friday congregations, at mosques as part of efforts to stem the spread of COVID-19. The Muslim-majority country also imposed the restriction for all other religious groups, asking them to continue prayers and other activities at home to help the country overcome the coronavirus crisis. The decision was announced in an emergency notification issued by the Islamic Foundation Bangladesh (IFA), which operates under the Ministry of Religious Affairs. It clarified that five men -- the imam (prayer leader), muezzin (person who makes the call to prayer), and three other mosque officials -- will be allowed to offer daily prayers at mosques.
