Three Orthodox Jewish men die from COVID-19 within hours of arriving at the same NYC hospital

Three members of the Orthodox Jewish community in New York City died from COVID-19 within hours of being admitted to the same hospital.

All three were presented with severe corona virus symptoms on different days this week at the Maimonides Medical Center in the Borough Park neighborhood of Brooklyn.

According to The New York Post, Each of the men was ‘incurablely ill’ and died before they could be properly treated. Their names have not been made public.

These deaths come as many New York neighborhoods inhabited by large Orthodox Jewish communities are experiencing a dangerous development in COVID-19 cases.

Borough Park is one of four areas in Brooklyn that are currently overseen by the city’s health department. Midwood, Bensonhurst and South Williamsburg et al.

The Queens neighborhoods of Far Rockway and Que Garden are similarly under surveillance.

According to the Department of Health, these six environments account for 20 percent of the latest COVID-19 cases across the Big Apple.

On Thursday, the New York City Department of Health threatened to shut down non-essential businesses in those neighborhoods early next week if the number of corona virus infections does not decrease.

‘For the first time in the city’s recovery period, if there is no improvement by next Monday evening, immediate action can be measured on these zip codes,’ the department’s report said.

Mayor Bill de Blasio also noted the progress made in those neighborhoods, saying, “This is something we need to address in a more aggressive public health effort right now.”

Dr. Mitch Godz, CEO of the New York City Public Health Organization, said the city would distribute masks, gloves and hand sanitizers, and that officials would ask religious leaders to reinforce key public health messages.

Gates said robots and sound trucks in English and Yiddish should be worn to cover the face of physically distant residents.

Despite the overall positive test rate across the city, health officials say rates are significantly higher in these six neighborhoods: Midwood (12%), Borough Park (15%), Bensonhurst (14%) and South Williamsburg (8%), Queens for Rockway ( 14%) and Q Gardens (11%).

The increased cases in those six neighborhoods have not yet resulted in an increase in the weekly average trends for New York City epidemics. There has been a slight improvement in daily COVID-19 cases across the city over the past two weeks, but the average positive test rate is 1%
