Yedidya Lau, Rabbi Lau's grandson, says his grandfather tested COVID-19 positive this weekend, after receiving the second vaccination.
"Thank G-d, he feels excellent at home with no symptoms. He was infected from grandmother, the Rebbetzin, who was exposed earlier this week. Complete health for everyone with G-d's help."
Rabbi Lau was apparently infected by his wife who was tested earlier this week.
Upon receiving the vaccine, Rabbi Lau called on the entire haredi community to get vaccinated. "Everyone should come and get vaccinated - there is no fooling around in such things.

“It is a pity that one has to get jabbed to feel the brotherhood and unity of all parts of the people, all of us together.
