Austria’s Vienna airport was an early adopter for in-airport COVID-19 tests, with results turned around within a few hours, sparing those with medical certificates from a mandatory 14-day quarantine.

Tuesday evening saw mass protests by members of the ultra-Orthodox community against the new regulations, with huge crowds gathering in Borough Park without masks and in defiance of those regulations. Thousands of ultra-Orthodox protestors took part in the demonstrations set at least one fire and burned masks. A Jewish individual who sought to photograph and document the mass violation of the new regulations was severely beaten by some protestors and required hospitalization.

Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky and Rabbi Gershon Edelstein instruct not to hold hands during traditional holiday dancing, not to kiss Torah scrolls, and to keep distance ‘as far as possible.’
