As the Arbaeen pilgrimage approaches, the lovers of Imam Hussain (A.S) are walking towards the holy shrine of the Imam in Karbala, while local processions keep offering various services to the pilgrims flocking to the holy city.
However, in order to maintain the health of the pilgrims, strict health measures have been taken along the path.
The pilgrimage of Arbaeen Imam Hussain (A.S) has been called an exception after the increase in the number of Coronavirus infections in Iraq.
Many health plans have been put in place to protect the lives of pilgrims against the Coronavirus, including disinfecting pilgrims’ paths, the need to wear face masks and gloves, and maintaining social distance.
