Germany gradually reopens mosques as coronavirus restrictions ease
Germany’s federal and state governments agreed on April 30 to further lift COVID-19 restriction measures, allowing the re-opening of places of worship, playgrounds, parks, museums, galleries, zoos and monuments.
The Muslim Coordination Council (KRM), which represents the majority of mosque communities, welcomed the decision in a press release published on its website.
Following the government’s decision, KRM agreed to gradually open mosques, following clear guidelines and rules.
