Shi’ite Muslims commemorate the Tasoua in Tehran amid COVID-19 outbreak

Mourners beat themselves as they take part in a religious ceremony during Tasoua, a day ahead of Ashura in the Karbalaeiha hussainiyah in southern Tehran on August 29, 2020. The new coronavirus (COVID-19) put the country in the red situation, and the health officials warned people for observing social distancing and health protocols in the Muharram mourning ceremonies and being ready for the third wave of the COVID-19 disease that will begin in the fall.
