    Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef: Masks permitted on Shabbat even without eiruv

    Israel's Sephardi Chief Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef has made a number of rulings pertaining to the current period and the Health Ministry's guidelines for curbing the coronavirus epidemic.

    Among his rulings is one permitting the wearing of a face mask outside one's home, even in places where there is no eiruv. (An eiruv is a halakhic device whereby a neighborhood is demarcated as a private zone, permitting people to carry items within its boundaries.)
