Everyday Events
The mosque sterilization plan developed by the Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities Department in Dubai has been fully implemented. For 11 days, starting on April 1, all the mosques in Dubai were thoroughly sterilized, including all surfaces and spaces. Sterilization was carried out every day in each of the mosques.
To ensure complete sterilization, agreements were concluded with three companies specialized in this field. All devices and materials, as well as the most modern disinfectants, allowed cleaning activities to be carried out at the highest level. Using spraying devices, disinfectors were applied to floors, walls, stairs, carpets, shelves, books, and other items. Special sterilization devices were installed on the doors of mosques. Thus, visitors to mosques are protected for the given period from the possibility of infection through the surface in the maximum possible way.
The sterilization plan will continue, as long as the situation requires. Regular mosques disinfections activities are designed to maintain public health and keep the community safe and secure.

Novel Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2, also known as COVID-19) is a new strain of coronavirus which is causing illness in humans and animals. Most people infected with the COVID-19 coronavirus will feel mild to moderate respiratory illness and recover without any special treatment. Older people, as well as those with underlying medical problems like cardiovascular disease, chronic respiratory disease, cancer or diabetes, are more likely to develop serious illness, and require immediate assistance. Novel Coronavirus was first identified in a cluster with pneumonia symptoms in Wuhan city, Hubei province of China, quickly spreading around the world. On early March 2020, the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic had officially started, becoming the defining global health crisis of our time. Today, it is the greatest challenge people have faced since World War II, worsened by subsequent lockdowns of whole countries, collapse of entire industries, and a major economic recession.
