The traditional mass priestly blessing (Birkat Kohanim) at the Western Wall will run in a limited format this Passover due to the coronavirus restrictions.
Every year, on the second intermediate day of Passover and Sukkot, tens of thousands of people usually crowd the Western Wall Plaza to receive a blessing from hundreds of priests (Kohanim). However, due to social distancing directives, only a quorum of 10 Kohanim will be present, maintaining the proper distance between themselves.
