YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

In the holy month of Ramadan, Muslims in Iran are finding ways to gather whilst observing social distancing during the coronavirus outbreak. One of the solutions is a Western-style drive-in theater where people can come to in their cars.

The nightly drive-in ceremony is a way for the Ramadan night prayers to continue whilst mosques around the country remain closed due to coronavirus.

Tehran's Eram Park is a large theme park and acts as a perfect place for the community to gather. Mosques, holy sites and shrines have been closed since mid-March.

More than 6,300 people have lost their lives to Covid-19 and more than 99,000 Iranians have been infected.
