The pastor says the churchgoers, including himself, tested positive after the congregation held a series of religious services featuring a guest pastor over the course of several days last week. The member presented no symptoms, but got tested when several of his coworkers received positive tests, according to the pastor. Over the weekend, dozens more fell ill, Ross said, adding: “I’ve got church members sick everywhere."
