(Worthy News) – The pastor of a historic Georgetown Episcopal Church in Washington D.C. has become the first confirmed case of coronavirus in the district, and in an alarming development, officials are now reporting that the church leader shook the hands of hundreds of worshippers during recent services.
Officials are now asking all worshippers who visited Christ Church Georgetown either on February 24 or between February 28 and March to self-quarantine for two weeks.
