A crowded holiday event held at a Hendersonville, North Carolina, church was the source of at least 75 COVID-19 cases, according to the Henderson County Health Department.
The event, which took place at First Baptist Church over the December 5 weekend, involved a crowd of maskless churchgoers and choir members, who were singing shoulder-to-shoulder without masks, reports the Asheville Citizen Times.
“To date, the Health Department has identified 75 individuals who have tested positive as a result of the event,” read the health department’s press release on Thursday. “The Health Department is working to identify any additional close contacts of these individuals.”
