COTABATO CITY (May 12, 2021) – The city government has discouraged the
conduct of this year’s Eid al-Fitr congregational prayer assemblies in
public venues here due to the resurgence of coronavirus disease 2019
(Covid-19) cases, an online report by Philippine News Agency(PNA) said
today.
“After a series of discussions with the members of the City
Inter-Agency Task Force (CIATF) on Covid-19, it is with regret that the
CIATF has discouraged Cotabateños from conducting congregational prayers
on the celebration of the (Eid al-Fitr),” Sayadi said as quoted by
PNA..
“Despite the modified general community
quarantine (MGCQ) status in this city, “we cannot guarantee that the
allowed 30 percent capacity of every venue, and physical distancing,
will be followed, thereby increasing the risk of spreading the virus,”
Mayor Sayadi added.
She also said that currently, the city has 90 active cases, twice the number of infected patients in the past few days.
“As
you can see in our daily Covid tracker, our cases increase by the day
and we record Covid-related deaths every week here in our city,” Sayadi
said.
Through the recommendation of the CIATF, Sayadi
urged the Islam faithful to perform Eid al-Fitr prayers in their
respective homes.
“We ask for your utmost understanding and we hope that we will continue to follow all our minimum health protocols,” she said.
Eid
al-Fitr is one of the two Muslim legal holidays celebrated in Muslim
World. The other one is Eid’ul Adha. It marks the end of Ramadhan, where
Muslims fast from sunrise to sundown.
