Burial society threatens to stop COVID funerals if its workers aren’t vaccinated
The Chevra Kadisha, or Jewish burial society, is demanding that the Health Ministry vaccinate its workers, citing the risks of interring the bodies of people who succumbed to the coronavirus.
It has given the ministry an ultimatum, saying that if its members do not receive the shots by Wednesday, they will stop burying COVID-19 victims, according to the Ynet news site.
