We are continuing to see sporadic cases throughout the community, and it is our fervent hope that through our continued efforts and vigilance we can keep the infection under control, and ultimately eliminate new cases entirely. If anyone is newly ill, again, please document that here.

Please continue to practice social distancing precautions as discussed in previous updates. Of significant concern are those most vulnerable to the infection, such as above age 65, in particular those that have not been sick yet. Continuing to isolate remains critically important for those in this group.

May all those that are well remain well, and those that are ill have a complete and speedy Refuah Shleimah! Wishing everyone a good Yom Tov.

-The Gedaliah Society, in conjunction with Dr. Rosen
