Religious leader Rabbi Chaim Druckman’s condition deteriorated significantly this afternoon, his family says.

Druckman, 90, has been in serious condition for several days after contracting the coronavirus earlier this month. After initially receiving care at home, Druckman was brought to Jerusalem’s Hadassah Hospital Ein Kerem for treatment.

His condition had stabilized in recent days, but his family says that he took a sudden turn for the worse today.
