摘要
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar in which it is compulsory for Muslims to abstain from eating and drinking during the daytime. The COVID-19 pandemic posed additional challenges for Muslims as the crowded religious gatherings could give a new breath to the spread of the virus. Similar measures were adopted during Ramadan in 2021. The initiation of COVID-19 vaccination across the globe in combination with the need to maintain personal protective measures against COVID-19, result in new needs and challenges. At this juncture, Ramadan 2022 offers a growing opportunity to unite a global voice for solidarity, equal distribution of COVID-19 vaccines, and tackling the challenge of vaccine hesitancy.
