Despite having the second highest COVID-19 cases in the country, social distancing was not fully enforced during the Eid prayers in Kano on Sunday morning.

Kano currently has 883 COVID-19 cases, the second highest in the country.

During the prayers, religious faithful clustered behind what appeared to be a glass partition.

While Abdullahi Ganduje, the governor, and those around him sat apart, though not up to two meters as recommended by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), the people behind the partition were close to one another.

Photos of the Eid prayers were posted by Salihu Tanko Yakasai, media aide of the governor.
