Christian
Council has suspended all church services, while Supreme Islamic Council has
ordered all imams to suspend congregation in mosques till the situation of
covid-19 is improved.
These
decisions came following the Ministry of Health’s advice to religious leaders
to adhere to the World Health Organisation’s instruction of suspending public
gatherings.
Meanwhile,
Government Spokesman Ebrima Sankareh has also told The Point that The Gambia
government has taken measures for all ministries and departments to downscale
staff to disallow congestion in the midst of covid-19.
“They
will be away for 21 days, this measure is necessary,” he said.
