"We should not forget that all the precautions taken are for the health hazard which has come very near to us, not to expand and spread further. I want to remind that we have to refrain from some of our spiritual conducts and practices, temporarily.
We have to limit our tefilas, worships, and meetings these days temporarily. I have no doubt that our almighty G-d shall accept our worships and prayers we make in our homes.
I pray with all my heart, for this troublesome period to come to an end in no time with all our efforts, and I am praying to G-d of all people to grant health and wellness for all the people, for our country, and for our world."
