He was being quite careful. He was sandek at a bris the day before he tested. The room was cut into sections with plexiglass and he was in a part of the room with just the mohel, Avi haBen, and baby.

It would be too soon to test positive from that bris, correct?

The test can show positive immediately... symptoms usually take 4-5 days

My first thought too, but probably. Also, I heard that he hasn’t been feeling well for a week or two already (I was quickly reassured it wasn’t COVID related, but I’m not sure how anybody could know that).

IINM most people take 2-14 days to register as positive.

The plexiglass is useless it's been well established the virus is aerosolized and travel right above it.

Unless it was hermetically sealed. Not totally useless but yes it’s more in the head

Other than hermetically sealed or full pressurized hazmat suits just about everything is the difference in degrees of risk.

I read that his driver and a few of his grandsons who take care of him every day tested positive just before Yom Kippur. Even if he was being careful, it's possible that he took less precautions with his trusted inner circle, and unfortunately contracted it from one of them.

Masks would help with aerosolization, plexiglass not so much. As far as respiratory droplets, plexiglass would help.

The doctor treating Hagaon HaRav Chaim Kanivsky has released a statement that the Gadol Hador has totally recovered from COVID-19. B"H, his symptoms were never severe and remained at home learning since he was diagnosed on Erev Sukkos.
