Muslims traditionally celebrate Eid with large gatherings of family and friends, where worshippers can pray and break their fasts together. But this year, the kingdom celebrates Eid Al Fitr with Covid restrictions in place, after health authorities said on Sunday that celebratory gatherings must be limited to 20 people.

Precautionary measures have also been put in place at more than 20,000 mosques around the country, in an effort to limit the spread of Covid-19 during the celebrations, Spa reported.
