(BBC) Officers will not investigate a breach of coronavirus rules after 250 people attended a funeral, police confirmed.
It comes after the imam who led prayers at the Jamia Ghosia Mosque in Blackburn tested positive for Covid-19 following the funeral on 13 July.
The mosque committee had said police and public health officials were investigating the breach of a maximum of 30 people allowed at a funeral.
But Lancashire Police said the case was one for public health officials alone.
Blackburn with Darwen has seen a “rising tide” in coronavirus cases in recent days, according to public health officials, centred on terraced houses with a high number of occupants.
