He further explained that: “In here, I refer to the suspension of sporting events, nightclubs, cinemas, drinking spots, bars, beaches, festivals, funerals, political rallies, and large religious gatherings such as crusades, pilgrimages and conventions.”
Meanwhile, the ban on religious gatherings has been lifted effective Friday, 5 June 2020 under strict control measures.
