ERBIL — The Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria, also known as the Syrian Kurdistan or Rojava, has announced a complete lockdown during the upcoming Eid al-Adha holidays to contain the spread of the new coronavirus.
The administration said in an official statement on Wednesday that the lockdown would begin on Friday, 31 July, which marks the first day of Eid al-Adha for muslims.
According to the statement, the lockdown would last for 10 days.
Traditionally, muslims celebrate Eid al-Adha by holding family gatherings and visiting relatives for four days. However, almost in all the Muslim countries, the Eid is advised to be held with restrictions due to the fragile health conditions across the world.
