A mosque in Sydney has been given permission to let up to 400 worshippers celebrate Eid al-Adha - even though coronavirus clusters have emerged from churches and funerals. Worshippers will gather at the Auburn Gallipoli Mosque in western Sydney over the weekend to celebrate one of the holiest days on the Islamic calendar. The mosque will only allow a maximum of 400 people attending - far fewer than the several thousand who normally gather for the Eid celebration. In 2019, nearly 3,000 worshippers attended Eid al-Adha prayers at the mosque and thousands more spilled onto the streets nearby. Finally, she went to the Our Lady of Mt Carmel Catholic Church at Mt Pritchard for one hour on July 19 from 7.30am.
