# Each community should decide whether or not close the kli mikveh out of a safety concern. You can do the [[tevilat kelim]] in the ocean. Alternatively, one can use tevilat kelim in the mikvah while wearing gloves, then throw out the gloves, wash off the kelim with soap and water. As a last resort one can avoid tevilat kelim by giving the pots to a non-Jew and borrowing them back. One can rely on this until the virus passes.<ref>[https://www.yutorah.org/sidebar/lecture.cfm/949232/rabbi-aryeh-lebowitz/hilchos-pesach-shiur-04-pesach-with-covid-19/ Rav Aryeh Lebowitz (min 5-9)]</ref> | # Each community should decide whether or not close the kli mikveh out of a safety concern.

If these Jews can't be there in person it is sufficient if they are present through social media technology.<ref>Rav Hershel Schachter (Teshuva dated 28 Adar 5780 p. 1)</ref> | ||
