The World Health Organisation has reissued its guidance on observing Ramadan - a month-long Islamic fast that could begin tomorrow - during the pandemic.
The guidance says that while it's fine for healthy people to fast as usual, COVID-19 patients should "consider religious licences regarding breaking the fast in consultation with their doctors, as they would do with any other disease".
It says it adds despite the different execution in practices this year, it is important to reassure the faithful that they can still reflect, improve, pray, share, and care – all from a healthy distance,"
The WHO says so although Ramadan may be different this year, it's still possible to observe it faithfully.
