(Bloomberg) -- Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said mosques in areas where there has been a significant decline in the rate of coronavirus infections will reopen from May 4.
In comments shown live on state TV, Rouhani said Friday prayers will also be allowed in 132 districts that have been labeled “white” or “low risk” in terms of the spread of the disease.
Officials also plan to reopen schools for one month in the so-called white zones from May 16, Rouhani added, without giving further details.
