” All open Eid grounds should have multiple entry and exit points with hand washing and temperature checking facilities;

” Imams should ensure that sermons are short so that the entire Eid prayers do not exceed one hour;

” All parks and recreational grounds and facilities shall remain closed throughout the festive period.
