In mosques, the Concertation Committee of the Executive of Muslims of Belgium has maintained the same protocol in force until November 19.

Since the establishment of this protocol, mosques have been authorized to accommodate a maximum of 200 worshippers according to the capacity of the place of worship, while respecting the distancing measure between people and hygiene measures, in accordance with the protocol established by the EMB and transmitted to the authorities.
