Jerusalem, Ta. Monday 16 March 2020

Al-Aqsa, the third most holy place in Islam, has been closed indefinitely because of the Corona virus. The capital of Israel is in Jerusalem. Shaikh Omar Kiswani, the director of the mosque, said on Sunday that the prayers would be out and the mosque had been closed due to the corona virus.

The mosque located in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, and Al Aqsa Islam, located in Jerusalem, are the third holy sites in Jerusalem after Al Nabawi, located in Medina. Iran is badly affected by the Corona virus there in West Asia. An official presiding over the force here to find a solution to the disease here on Sunday admitted that the epidemic had badly affected the country's health services.

About 13,000 cases of corona virus have been confirmed in Iran. More than 600 people have died. In quoting Ali Raza Jali, who is presiding over the fight against the Corona virus, Iran's state-run news agency IRNA says that if the situation worsens, it will be difficult to find a solution to the transition.
