Once inside Sayeda Khadija Centre (@skcentre),
Brothers wearing safety masks greet everyone and tell us we have to use hand sanitizers before proceeding.
Possible irony of using alcohol based cleaner to wash my hands before praying comes to my mind . . .

Walking to my usual Jumah Prayer spot, the first row immediately to the right of the Mimbar/Pulpit,
I look back and see what for me is a very unusual carpet layout,
The prayer carpet placement have "gaps" for "social distancing" during prayer . . .

Adhan Al Jumah, The Call to Friday Prayer . . .
As I pan my camera,
You can see how "Social Distancing" looks like at Friday Prayer :
Muslims sit at least 3 feet apart from fellow worshippers.
And we will NOT be praying our usual shoulder-to-shoulder…

Sayeda Khadija Centre (@skcentre) has a youtube channel.
Today's Jumah Qhutbah/Friday Sermon from Imam Slimi (@ihslimi) was livestreamed:https://t.co/pb7EwqQ2sV
"I’m not worried about the Pandemic as much as I’m worried about the panic."

We're done.
Sayeda Khadija Centre only allowed in "240" Muslims for this first of several Jumah Prayers.
Each subsequent Jumah Prayer would also cap at 240 people.
We were instructed to pray extra Sunnah prayers at home, and to exit the building quickly.
