PURPOSE OF REVIEW
We discuss the risk of COVID-19 in religious mass gathering events including Hajj and Umrah pilgrimages.
RECENT FINDINGS
The risk of transmission of respiratory viruses including COVID-19 is particularly high due to the overcrowding conditions at the Hajj and Umrah. The profile of the Hajj pilgrims who tend to be older and with multiple comorbidities corresponds to that of individuals at risk for severe COVID-19. In order to avoid a COVID-19 outbreak with potential spreading to many countries through returning pilgrims, Saudi Arabia suspended the Umrah, and access to the 2020 Hajj was very limited.
SUMMARY
A clear relation between early suspension of religious mass gatherings and lower occurrence of COVID-19 transmission in countries that took such measures promptly was noticed. There are lessons to national and international health organizations for other mass gatherings in the context of the pandemic.
综述目的
我们讨论在包括朝觐和副朝朝圣在内的宗教大型集会活动中感染新型冠状病毒肺炎（COVID-19）的风险。
最新研究结果
由于朝觐和副朝期间过度拥挤的状况，包括COVID-19在内的呼吸道病毒传播风险特别高。朝觐朝圣者往往年龄较大且患有多种合并症，这与感染COVID-19重症风险人群的特征相符。为避免COVID-19疫情通过返乡朝圣者传播至许多国家，沙特阿拉伯暂停了副朝，2020年朝觐的参与人数也非常有限。
总结
人们注意到，在迅速采取此类措施的国家，提前暂停宗教大型集会与COVID-19传播发生率降低之间存在明显关联。这给国家和国际卫生组织应对疫情背景下的其他大型集会提供了经验教训。
