A cafe in Bauman hung a sign at the entrance to the compound, which read that there is no entrance for followers.
The sign, which reads in Hebrew in large letters "No entry for followers", states that this was done due to the corona virus.

The Jewish community was quick to contact the local police because these were prejudices against Breslav's followers.
Police have opened an investigation on suspicion of racism.
The owner of the cafe, who has already been questioned by police, claimed he posted the sign so as not to spread the corona virus.
The winds in Uman have been stormy in recent days against the background of the desire of thousands of Hasidim to enter the city ahead of Rosh Hashanah, and on the other hand the escalation of anti-Semitism as a result of the publications against the Hasidim.
Last Wednesday, a storm broke out in Rabbi Nachman Bauman's Zion, after chassidim who were in the compound rioted and destroyed the fences that were supposed to create capsules inside the compound.
Two followers who participated in the destruction of fences will be expelled from the state for their actions.
Meanwhile, more than 300 people died in Ukraine this week as a result of the corona virus, and 17,000 new patients were reported.
Last Friday, no fewer than 72 people died, the highest number of deaths per day since the onset of the plague.
