Question
Shalom and blessings,
My son and I caught a virus that causes stomach discomfort.
We have a certain family event on Shabbat. Do I need to be concerned that someone in the family might catch it, or is it permitted to attend the event without concern?

Answer
Shalom and blessings.
If this is not a particularly contagious virus, you are permitted to participate. However, you must be very careful about hygiene — washing hands with soap, not getting too close to others, and the like.
Wishing you a speedy recovery.
