Apart From Reminding Candidates Of Hajj To Wear Masks In The Holy Land, Mojokerto Regent: Please Bring Hand Sanitizer Everywhere

JATIM - Mojokerto Regent Ikfina Fahmawati asked prospective hajj pilgrims to always wear masks when worshiping in the Holy Land because until now there is still a COVID-19 pandemic.

"During the trip and during the pilgrimage, I ask you to keep wearing masks, because apart from COVID-19 these masks can protect us from transmission of various other viral diseases," he said in Mojokerto, East Java, quoted by Antara, Thursday, June 16.

He reminded the pilgrims from Mojokerto Regency to always carry and use hand sanitizer during the pilgrimage.

"Secondly, I ask for help everywhere to bring hand sanitizer. So later anywhere before touching the face area, before ablution, and before opening a mask or changing a mask, please use hand sanitizer," he said.

In carrying out the pilgrimage, Ikfina also hopes that prospective hajj pilgrims can make the best use of their time to carry out worship as fully as possible.

"The focus of worship at home is already there to maintain, hopefully it will be smooth in carrying out worship and when you return home with the blessings of the Mabrur Hajj," he said.

On this occasion, the Regent of Mojokerto Ikfina Fahmawati, accompanied by the Regional Secretary of the Mojokerto Regency, Teguh Gunarko, immediately released the departure of the prospective pilgrims for Hajj group 19 from Mojokerto Regency in 2022.

The release of the pilgrims from the 19th batch of pilgrims from Mojokerto Regency this time dispatched 20 hajj candidates from the area.
