So as I write this, one day after purim:
I live in Westchester - my 3 kids go to two different schools and both are closed:
- My HS kids have been quarantined until 3/17
- My Middle Schooler was not initially quarantined because he was with me in Israel when his class was exposed, but they are all quarantined until 3/16.
- All 3 are virtually attending school today
- All but one of the shuls in the area are closed, without minyanim. That one that is opened, but davened outside on purim. I know of at least 1-2 people who are quarantined that are saying kaddish who've been scrambling to find people to say kaddish for them.
- My company has assigned people to work remotely as a proactive measure.
Just this morning I found out that someone on my flight to Israel on 3/1-2 was confirmed. Which means that my son and I are as well until 3/16. How did I find out? Not from Elal or the health ministry in Israel, but from reading about it on Israeli news sites.
