Otherwise, the person will not be allowed to cross the border. Also, pilgrims will be required to observe a social distance, a mask regime, and undergo temperature screening.
It should be noted that pilgrims began to arrive in Uman to celebrate the Jewish New Year (Rosh Ha-Shanah, this year it will begin on September 7).
