<p>We know that it will be disappointing that Eid will take place before Step 3 of
the roadmap to reopening has been taken. However, we must remember that we are still
living through a pandemic – every additional day of restrictions directly improves
our ability to reduce transmission and control the virus.</p><p>Communal worship outdoors
in the grounds of a Place of Worship is already possible. Outdoors each participating
group can involve up to two households. Mosques will also be able to organise ‘Eid
in the Park’ prayers, but will need to work with local councils and health officials
to facilitate this. Because larger events inevitably carry risks around groups mingling
we have advised anyone planning such an event to ensure they are modest in size and
well stewarded to ensure social distancing guidelines are followed, consistent with
our guidance on Outdoor Events.</p>
