Tehran, May 12 (RHC)-- All mosques in Iran are reopening on Tuesday, a further step in the government’s plans to ease restrictions which aimed to contain the spread of the new coronavirus, the official IRIB news agency has reported.

The move comes even though some parts of the country have seen a rise in infections.  At least 6,685 have died from the coronavirus in Iran amid 109,286 cases, 

Last Friday, prayer gatherings resumed in up to 180 Iranian cities and towns seen as being at low risk of coronavirus contagion after a two-month suspension, state media reported.

The resumption of Friday prayers, which are still banned in the capital Tehran and some other major cities, followed the reopening last Monday of 132 mosques in areas consistently free of the virus.  Schools will reopen next week, President Hassan Rouhani said on Sunday, according to the official presidency website.
