A Purim statement issued by the Orthodox Union: The union, which supports a network of synagogues across the United States, said that anyone who is ill or must remain in isolation must not come to synagogue. To fulfill the mitzvah, or religious obligations, those people should have a kosher, hand-written Megillah in hand from which they read audibly, either on their own or assisted by an electronic device. Purim meals and get-togethers should be limited, the Union advises. For those who have not achieved immunity, the Purim Seudah (meal) would best be conducted within the family bubble. People who deliver mishloach manot should visit friends outside the home and leave the package on the front porch or outside the apartment door.
