Ayatollah Khamenei (may God protect him):
If there is a significant risk of harm to oneself or others from interacting with others, such interaction is not permissible unless that risk is eliminated, and the assessment is the responsibility of the individual.

Ayatollah Sistani (may God protect him):
Anyone who fears that they may contract the virus due to contact or interaction and suffer significant harm, even if not fatal, is required to avoid such interactions unless necessary precautions are taken. If this risk is deemed unlikely, then there is no obligation to avoid it.
