*Coronavirus Update* Chelmsford Muslim Society 18 March 2020 Assalamu Alaikum, ***Temporary closure of Essex Mosques (Braintree, Chelmsford, Colchester and Maldon) to the public due to coronavirus pandemic*** In line with the most recent advice from the Government, from medical professionals in our community and after careful consideration with our Imam and in consultation with other Essex Council of Mosques.
