Having two jumuahs due to restrictions

Q: Due to the current COVID-19 restrictions of 50 allowed inside and 100 outside for salaah, we have a jumuah inside for 50 and a separate jumuah outside for 100 with separate Imaam and separate congregation.

1. Is this allowed?

2. Do we need to complete the 1st jumuah inside before we start the outside jumuah?

A: This is not in conformity with the sunnat. Have one single jamaat.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
