The Jewish Center of the Hampton will be closed for three weeks, according to an announcement released on Dec. 23.

"As the daily average positivity rate in Suffolk County reached 13.6 percent, the highest it has been in almost a year, we conferred with a committee of J.C.O.H. medical advisers for the best course of action," said the announcement. "With their advice and guidance, the decision to close was unanimously viewed as the prudent and practical thing to do."

All Shabbat services will be virtual only. Links can be found online at jcoh.org.
