MOSQUES WILL BE OPEN FROM AUGUST 31

At a meeting of the interdepartmental Commission chaired by Deputy Prime Minister Yeraly Tugzhanov, the second stage of easing activity for some objects was approved.

Taking into account the positive situation in the country, the interdepartmental Commission allowed some objects to resume work from August 31. In particular, religious sites, swimming pools, gyms, sports complexes, cultural facilities, state national parks, nature reserves, as well as suburban passenger trains, electric trains, intercity and intra-regional buses and minibuses are allowed to operate.

"All objects will be allowed to work only after receiving the relevant acts. Akimats of regions together with the Ministry of health, NCE "Atameken" with the involvement of public activists should ensure strict compliance with all sanitary requirements at the facilities," Yeraly Tugzhanov said.

In accordance with the decision of the interdepartmental Commission, a number of mosques will be opened in the country under the auspices of the DUMK from August 31 for individual prayers and services in compliance with all sanitary requirements.

It should be noted that two weeks ago, the Spiritual administration of Muslims of Kazakhstan proposed to the competent authorities to reopen mosques in compliance with quarantine requirements.
