According to the management board of the mosque, Muslim adherents in the commune have proactively followed instructions of the provincial religious affairs committee, the provincial Muslim community and local authorities on the Covid-19 prevention and control, including the suspension of all large religious gatherings, wearing face marks when going to public places and filed online medical declaration as prescribed by the Health Ministry.

Muslims who had returned from religious services in Malaysia and works from Cambodia have observed quarantine regulations in the locality. Besides, the management board has cancelled all religious services regularly held in the mosque, including Friday mass, and encouraged members to pray at home instead. 

Speaking at the exchange meeting, Chairman Lê Nguyên Châu spoke highly of efforts made by the mosque’s administration board and Muslims in the commune for the epidemic prevention, and asked the Muslim community to strictly observe new instructions of the Prime Minister and An Giang authorities on social distancing for preventing the spread of the pandemic during its current critical period in Vietnam.
