*** URGENT COVID-19 INFORMATION ***
*** PRELIMINARY RELEASE ***
Please note I am releasing this information prior to direction from the Department of Health and Human Services as it is coming up to Shabbos. The suggestions may change.
Unfortunately, a young man has tested positive with COVID-19. He was infectious when he was at the wedding last Sunday night at the Pullman Hotel, and at the Sheva Brochos the following night. Probably also several days prior. More details to follow.
I would consider men at the wedding to be casual contacts .
I would consider everyone who was at the Sheva Brochos for at least two hours to be close contacts.
This information could change.
The virus is nasty in that some people become very unwell r"l. It is also nasty in that it uses quite well and unsuspecting young people to transmit it.
May Hashem help us through this difficult time. May we make it through this in good health. May we be zocheh to the coming of moshiach speedily.
Dr Jonathan Pinczower
