Israelis studying at Chabad's worldwide headquarters in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, are being asked to return to Israel. Chabad claims that it cannot take care of the students. The students are isolated in their rooms with many displaying symptoms of the virus.
One student said that he wants to come home but is wary of infecting others and would rather stay in New York until the coronavirus crisis is over. Aware of a previous flight that carried sick passengers to Israel, the student said he did not want to be a part of "coronavirus flight #2."
