@syag-lchochma I don’t want to name the Yeshiva, but it really and truly happened and it was absolutely terrifying. They took precautions to try and keep everyone from leaving and guests from coming in with the understanding that they could not make all the boys social distance and wear masks all the time (dining room, dorms, etc.). But unfortunately there were a few “leaks”. One of those leaks was a guy who went home on Friday afternoon before Rosh Hashono, then one of his parents felt sick over Shabbos and a few days later so did he. They sent him home immediately but almost right away his roomates and chavrusas tested positive. After a few days there were people falling ill in the Yeshiva, by Yom Kippur they were forced into full lockdown and had a special run for tests which was 75% positive. By the time Succos rolled around, people were already saying tehillim for one Rebbi, and at least two other Rebbeim were hospitalized with less severe symptoms. Even as late as yesterday, there was a tehillim call for the Mashkiach’s wife who has been in serious condition for weeks.
