(BBC) Leaders at a mosque in Blackburn say they are being investigated by police and health officials after “around 250 people” attended a funeral service.
The chairman of Jamia Ghosia Mosque said they thought there were no restrictions on numbers if hygiene and distancing measures were in place.
The mosque committee said the imam had since “tested positive for Covid 19 and is recovering from the virus.”
Since 4 July, a maximum of 30 people have been allowed at funerals.
In an email to worshippers, seen by the BBC, it said “around 250 participants” attended the funeral prayer on 13 July.
