There has been a high demand for coronavirus self-test kits in the haredi (ultra-Orthodox) community in an attempt to avoid quarantine, according to a report by N12 News on Friday. The increased coronavirus morbidity rates in the haredi community has led many to issue orders for coronavirus self-test kits, through various private import companies. According to the N12 News report, a 'quiet directive' was spread across haredi communities via WhatsApp groups, instructing people to avoid government testing and to do so privately.
