ISLAMABAD: Mosques were allowed to remain open in Pakistan on Friday (April 4) when Muslims gather for weekly prayers, even as the Covid-19 (coronavirus) pandemic spread and much of the country had shut down.
Prime Minister Imran Khan is relying on restricting the size of congregations attending mosques and advice to stay at home from religious groups like the country's Islamic Ideology Council.
