Announcement from ITREB & AKHB- Ramadan
Traditionally Ramadan is a time for communal prayer, spiritual reflection, and acts of piety. Whilst staying at home during this month will be challenging, it is necessary to protect the NHS and save lives.
- Those who are in good health and choose to fast can continue as usual this Ramadan.
- In the Shi’a tradition, fasting is not recommended in times of illness
- Those with symptoms of coronavirus or any other flu-like illness should not be responsible for preparing food.
- As advised by WHO, hand hygiene should be maintained through handwashing for 20 seconds. Wash your hands using soap and water or a hand sanitiser after entering your home; blowing your nose; sneezing or coughing and before eating and handling food. This will protect yourself and others.
- Individuals should be encouraged to maintain a healthy lifestyle with the foods they eat and find ways to engage in physical activity to keep the body active. During this time, with most of us staying at home for most of the day it is important to keep our bodies moving- through walks or engaging in other forms of exercise.
