As the holy month of Ramadan this year falls between late April and late May amid the Covid-19 pandemic, the World Health Organization (WHO) has urged people to keep maintaining physical distancing.

"Practice physical distancing by strictly maintaining a distance of at least 1 metre (3 feet) between people at all times," the WHO said in its interim guidance titled "Safe Ramadan practices in the context of the Covid-19".

"Use culturally and religiously sanctioned greetings that avoid physical contact, such as waving, nodding, or placing the hand over the heart," said the document.
