We would like to point out, that even though the results of the survey suggest that the rate of new cases has fallen steeply, and this leads us to the hope that the worst of this outbreak here in Crown Heights will soon be over, nevertheless we as a community are not through this yet.
We need to continue with policies of social distancing that we have so effectively practiced over the past 2 weeks, for the sake of those around us that still remain vulnerable.
Please continue to be mindful of the importance of isolation for those above age 65, those with underlying health conditions, and those that are sick. We would like to continue to reiterate the importance of social distancing and avoiding groups and clusters. At the same time, and within those limits, you can go and get some fresh air with your children if you are not ill (according to the criteria).
There continue to be many in our community who are ill and hospitalized, with severe pneumonia related to the virus. As is typical, these cases developed during the second week of the illness for many. We wish to reiterate that if a patient is suffering significant shortness of breath, Hatzalah should be called.
Our deepest prayers for their speedy and complete recovery!
Please continue to use the hotline (212-901-2000) for COVID-related questions. In recognition of the continued anxiety felt by all during this time, please call the hotline to be connected to a mental health professional. For help with errands, please email the helpline [email protected].

Many thanks for these updates: they are very informative and much appreciated! I think it is important to clarify the guidelines on how long the household members of those who are sick should also stay home due to being “exposed carriers.” Is the guideline for the remainder of the household different if one’s household member “merely” came down with loss of the sense of smell? Shockingly, there are many people out and about in town who have someone actively ill at home, r”l. At what point in time is this “out and about” activity OK for “exposed carriers”? Sometimes, also,… Read more »

If one has been in close contact with a person sick with Covid 19 however he is asymptomatic. Does that mean that he does not have the virus? Can you have the virus/ be a carrier yet not have any sick symptoms?
