The coronavirus pandemic has caused many unusual sights in cites throughout the world, including animals rarely seen in urban areas strolling around newly abandoned territory, some driven out of their natural habitats in search of food and water. YWN has previously reported on wild boars in Haifa, Paris, and Barcelona, jackals in Tel Aviv, foxes in Ashkelon, goats in Wales, monkeys in Thailand and deer in Japan. Another bizarre sight involving animals occurred in the city of Samsun, Turkey, when a large flock of sheep filled a main street, with their loud baas disturbing the quiet that had ensued in the city streets since the lockdown. A city resident recorded the sight and the video quickly went viral.

When awareness of the coronavirus was just beginning to spread in Chareidi communities in Israel, the actual virus was already spreading in Telzstone. It was the first Chareidi community hit with the virus and at one point it had the highest rate of infection relative to its population in Israel. Following the diagnosis of the coronavirus in a guest who had stayed in Telzstone for Shabbos Zachor, hundreds of Telzstone residents were forced to self-quarantine before Purim. Later, hundreds of other residents were sent to quarantine after six members of one family, parents and four children, were diagnosed with the virus. And then the first woman to give birth while positive for the coronavirus, a Telzstone resident, was diagnosed, sending even more people in quarantine.

The NYPD is investigating a disturbing string of incidents that occurred in Williamsburg on Thursday morning. Sources tell YWN that at approximately 12:00PM, a man assaulted at least five women in the area of Sanford Street near Willoughby Ave. Some of the women were in other locations, and the victims may have been inappropriately touched by the suspect.
