The Imam of a local mosque in the village of Shamma in Egypt's northern Nile delta province of Menoufia stands clad in mask due to the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic by a window near the mosque early on May 24, 2020, before the prayers of Eid al-Fitr, the Muslim holiday which starts at the conclusion of the holy fasting month of Ramadan. - Egypt had previously announced a lengthening of its night-time curfew and other measures to prevent large gatherings during the Eid al-Fitr holidays. One of the most important dates in the Muslim calendar, it is traditionally celebrated with mosque prayers, family feasts and shopping for new clothes, gifts and sweet treats.
