Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Assalamu alaikum:
The government of the province of Newfoundland and Labrador has now placed the entire province under adapted Alert Level 4 in order to slow and eventually stop the rapid spread of COVID-19 in our province. This Alert Level places limits on the size of religious congregations to a maximum of 50 people at all times.
Therefore, now Jumah prayers will now each be limited to a maximum of 50 attendees to be admitted on a first-come first-served basis to the mosque. This is necessary to abide with government regulations. Also, all those attending the mosque for Jumah prayers will have their vaccination status verified before being admitted. Additionally, washrooms are locked at the mosque, so wudu should be performed at home before arriving at the mosque.
As before, it is very important that all attendees to all congregational prayers adhere to the following measures:
1. It is necessary that all attendees to congregational prayers at the mosque bring their NLVaxPass as proof of vaccination status.
2. Social distancing measures must be adhered to as soon as the mosque is entered.
3. All attendees must wear a mask at all times covering their nose and mouth.
4. All attendees must make wudu at home.
5. All attendees must bring their own prayer mat.
We appreciate all of your cooperation with these measures and pray that insha'Allah everyone stays safe and healthy during these trying times.
Jazakum Allahu Khairan,
