But if you’re planning to visit the mosque, you must book the trip in advance by visiting their website, all you need to do is fill the forum with a few of your personal details and the date and time of your preferred time to visit.
Thermal screenings are expected to take place before entering the mosque as well as periodic deep cleans throughout the day.
