NSTworld Pakistani authorities struggled to limit congregational prayers on Friday with devout Muslims defying government orders to stay home, threatening efforts to stem the spread of the Covid19 coronavirus.

Religious Affairs Minister Noor-ul-Haq Qadri on Thursday capped the maximum number of people at prayers at five.

Devout Muslims consider congregational prayer at a mosque to be holier than those held elsewhere and they regard it as mandatory to attend Friday afternoon services. Attendance at prayers has dropped significantly across Pakistan but not close to the government’s limit, witnesses told Reuters. A police officer there asked worshippers to go home. “I can’t stop you by force, but I can just request you....to please just realise the situation,” he said through a microphone.

Don't use the word 'devout' for such people.
