(JTA) – Six highly orthodox neighborhoods in Brooklyn and Queens lately account for 20% of all new COVID-19 cases in New York City, and cases are “seriously troubling,” city fitness officials said Tuesday.
New knowledge comes amid the development of precautionary symptoms in New York’s Orthodox communities about the imaginable start of a momentary wave of cases, after a brutal spring and a relatively quiet summer.
The city’s fitness branch tracks neighborhoods, all home to giant Orthodox communities, for weeks after cases began to increase in August, most of which were attributed to giant weddings held in many Orthodox communities, especially Borough Park and Williamsburg.
But the number of cases has continued to increase in recent weeks, despite automatic calls from fitness branch officials targeting Orthodox neighborhoods and calls to get tested and dressed in the mayor’s mask.
In various southern Brooklyn spaces, adding Midwood, Borough Park, and Bensonhurst, which the Health Department now calls the Ocean Parkway Cluster after the connecting street, as well as in Williamsburg and Far Rockaway, cases tripled as of January 1. August and September 19. In Kew Gardens, Queens, the cases doubled during the same period.
While many cases over the more than six weeks have been linked to giant marriages typical of Orthodox communities, which resumed in many communities without mask or social estating in mid-summer, the spread of coronavirus in communities has been exacerbated by a number of factors.
When weddings resumed in August, the youth began returning from summer camps and families returned to Brooklyn after spending the summer months in bungalow colonies in up northern New York State. some mocking social estating or dressed in masks. And the synagogue has returned to its pre-Pandemic capacities despite the continued risk of the pandemic, a sign of the fervor with which the age of repentance leading to primary festivals is seen in Orthodox communities and the widespread feeling that the coronavirus pandemic had long ago ended in communities.
The Orthodox communities of Borough Park, Crown Heights, and Williamsburg, 3 neighborhoods with giant Hasidic populations, were greatly affected when the pandemic first struck the United States in March after purim celebrations, a Jewish holiday marked by vacation and excessive alcohol consumption. the virus was spreading around the city, however, before restrictions were established.
By the end of spring, many members of these communities had returned to general life, returning to school in use in plasters and prayers in synagogues and largely renounting the mask that had later become a non-unusual position in the city.
For many, the extent to which communities were hit by the virus in March gave them a pass to resume a life, as many assumed that communities had achieved collective immunity.
For much of the summer, local clinics reported some new cases of COVID-19 despite the resumption of general activities.
But in August, the symptoms of a momentary wave began to appear in several communities, with marriages being the culprits.
The post-New York City fitness branch warns of a “significant concern” about construction in COVID-19 in predominantly orthodox neighborhoods, which first gave the impression at the Jewish Telegraph Agency.
