Everyone should be tested for Covid -19 both to see if they have it and to see if they have the antibodies. Here in NY these tests are free even if you don’t have insurance. There are 2 types of tests one a nasal swab tests if you have Covid now, while the blood test tells if you have the antibodies. Everyone should get both tests. If you have the antibodies you already had it and have recovered and don’t even know it. The chances of you catching it a second time are greatly reduced and you can go to shul, but there is still a chance that you can catch it again.
Everyone should wear a mask covering their mouth and nose in public to reduce transmitting this disease. Masks are uncomfortable and fog up your glasses which is why in certain areas hardly anyone is wearing them now. Also because the mask doesn’t protect the wearer they feel why wear it. I ride the subway and see people not wearing masks or wearing them but not over their nose and or mouth .even though wearing a mask is required in order to ride the subway.
