SINGAPORE (ANN): All 70 mosques in Singapore will be closed for five days for cleaning from Friday (March 13) and no congregational prayers will be held on that day, as a preventive measure to curb the spread of the coronavirus following the infection of two Singaporeans who attended a mass religious gathering in Selangor, Malaysia.

Around 90 Singaporeans had attended the gathering in late February, and some of them are frequent congregants of some local mosques.
