"In light of the ongoing Covid-19 situation and in fidelity with the resolutions of the Fifth Session of the National and County Governments Coordinating Summit, all ceremonies in celebration of Idd-ul-Azha will be marked with minimal person-to-person contact and in strict and full compliance with the guidelines issued by the Inter-faith Council with the approval of the approval of the Ministry of Health," the notice read in part.
