The Chief Spanish Rabbi referred to the spread of the plague and urged the fasters to keep the rules of social distance.

Spanish Chief Rabbi of Israel, Yitzhak Yosef, said Sunday that Corona patients feel badly exempted from the seventh anniversary of Tammuz, because of a danger to their health. 

"A person who sticks is not easy, it's very difficult. I knew several, very hard to breathe, then a very big weakness," said the rabbi during a recorded lesson.

"One has to be very careful. Anyone who is healthy at this time, on the 17th of Tammuz, who will go out. Sixty glasses in front of him in the synagogue, or a mask and rehabilitation. Whoever is affected by the virus. "Cough, eat. Especially now that it's an easy fast, to eat. If he's still interested, eat a little but pay attention to drinking, because not drinking is harmful to health," the rabbi added.
