Prominent Haredi rabbi has recovered from COVID — doctor

The physician for prominent ultra-Orthodox Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky says the 92-year-old has recovered from the coronavirus.

Following Dr. Ori Rogowski’s diagnosis, Kanievsky’s HMO says he is no longer required to quarantine, according to the Ynet news site.

Kanievsky, a leader of the non-Hasidic Lithuanian branch of Haredi Judaism, was confirmed to have the virus earlier this month. His condition briefly worsened a week after he contracted COVID-19.
