Many of the traditions practised during Ramadhan involve gathering together, community and charity work among others. Unlike in the past, the recent guidelines by governments from across the world have forced Muslims to change their habits during this period. "Our religious leaders have been at the forefront in educating members of the public on the safety measures to observe amidst the coronavirus outbreak," said Mr Yunis. He added that all religious leaders in the region are on strict instructions not to conduct worship in mosques until the crisis is over. Mr Yunis said that drug abuse is on the rise in the county as the youth now lack guidance and a sense of direction.
