A person afflicted with the novel coronavirus attended a Mother’s Day church service in Butte County, California, exposing 180 church congregants to the virus. According to a statement released by Butte County Public Health, the person was not aware they had COVID-19 until the day after the service when they received the lab-confirmed test results. Those who attended the service have been notified and received a directive on how to properly quarantine themselves.
Danette York, the Director of Butte County Public Health, warned that any organizations determined to hold in-person services are putting the health of their congregants and the general public at risk. York also added that a consequence of furthering the spread of the virus will only inhibit the state’s ability to reopen.
“Moving too quickly through the reopening process can cause a major setback and could require us to revert back to more restrictive measures.”
