MUSCAT: The Government Communication Centre (GC) on Saturday refuted rumours about reopening of mosques in the country.
In a statement issued online, GC said: “There is no truth to this news circulating about the opening of mosques in the Sultanate on the date indicated, and we call on everyone to obtain information from its official sources, and to refrain from re-circulating rumours.”
Last month, the Ministry of Endowment and Religious Affairs has said that, in line with precautionary measures, it will take a suitable decision on the opening of mosques and areas of worship with effect from mid-November 2020, depending on local indicators to be issued by the Supreme Committee.
