Question
Hello, It seems that I have coronavirus, I have body aches, severe muscle pain, high fever, sore throat, and general weakness. I really hope this doesn't continue until Yom Kippur. The question is, what should I do if it continues? Does it affect the fast?
Answer
Hello
You should try to fast and rest a lot.
It is important to remember that fasting is the most important part of Yom Kippur, even at the expense of prayer.
In case of special weakness, causing severe dizziness [even while lying down] or blacking out, you should drink in measured amounts.
