A Washington, D.C., priest has tested positive for coronavirus, health officials said.
The Rev. Timothy Cole, from Christ Church in Georgetown, has been identified as the city's first presumptive positive, Mayor Muriel Bowser said during a news conference Monday.
Cole oversaw three services attended by about 550 people, according to church officials.
It's unclear how many of those made direct contact with him.
"We recognize this situation is fluid. Every day we will monitor the situation.," Bowser said during the news conference. "We put safety of residents first. We are following the science about how we will proceed."
Anyone who visited Christ Church on Feb. 24 or between Feb. 28 and March 3 is urged to self-quarantine for 14 days. Anyone who develops symptoms, including fever, cough and/or shortness of breath, should call DC Health.
Christ Church has suspended all services and activities until further notice.
