BUTTE COUNTY (CBS13) — Public health officials are now doing a contact tracing investigation after someone tested positive for coronavirus after a Butte County church held a service on Mother’s Day.
According to Butte County Public Health, a person tested positive for COVID-19 a day after attending the Mother’s Day service.
It’s unclear exactly where that person was infected, but now the over 180 people who are believed to have attended the service may have been exposed to coronavirus.
“At this time, organizations that hold in-person services or gatherings are putting the health and safety of their congregations, the general public and out local ability to open up at great risk,” said Butte County Public Health Director Danette York in a statement.
Butte County Public Health and its partners are now trying to test all the people who attended the service.
Anyone who attended the service is being instructed by public health officials to self-quarantine.

As announced earlier this week, Butte County was among the first to meet the guidelines for loosening some of the stay-at-home order – but in-person religious gatherings remain prohibited until Stage 3 of California’s reopening plan.
Governor of CA will probably mention this as a reason to maintain the shutdown for 12 more months...
I don't like the governors prohibiting church services...
But, people should still be careful... Maybe this church should have held the service in the parking lot...People could stay in their cars...
Simple. Anyone over 60 should get tested. The rest should wash their hands.
Butte County is awesome. Trump country in CA.
I don’t need a test. I’m not sick. I’ve always washed my hands
They’ve had 22 cases so far. I guess we’ll see. Being exposed and catching it are two different things.
So, 180 people were “exposed”?
It does not mean anyone will be infected(probably will be some)
Does not mean anyone will get sick(although that is possible)
It does not mean anyone will die(a minor possibility, though still tragic)
Stop the hysterics
Jeez, everyone who gets this virus dies, right?
"Public health officials" say.. JUST STOP RIGHT THERE AND READ NO MORE.
Are they going to test all the people that person came in contact with at Walmart?
See what happens? You go worship some stupid guy in the sky and you all get exposed to a deadly virus! I HOPE YOU AND ALL YOUR FAMILIES DIE!

Every time an American looked at an item for where it was made in it came from China. Now China’s reliance making everything was being threatened by a change in leadership in America which was a major consumer of those products. When Americans hailed their leaders decision to make many of them in their country US. Their politburo worried.
Worse yet opponents to the Chinese regime in power had its citizens protesting its policies , as in Hong Kong, since that change in American leadership wave the American flag and present his name when doing so. All of which presented those in power the need to destroy that leader Donald Trump.
Would a runaway plague created by a nation which could threaten populations of an enemy cause them to react by demanding extreme restriction of movement by its population to prevent its spread ? Thus wind up fragmenting its economy and create defeat for that leader’s upcoming election.
The way this whole thing developed starting with the Italian fashion industry areas controlled by the Chinese commies hit by a runaway CCWV (Chinese Communist Wuhan Virus) breakout occurred in Wuhan the politburo closed off Wuhan but did not warn the Italian Socialist government or the Pope with whom the Chinese government had good relations with.
But certainly violated that understanding when the socialists should have been informed and allowed to deny those Chinese workers who replaced Italians in those factories taken over by the Chinese travel to and from China particularly for their New Year while this was occurring.Where they seem to have done almost the same here with Smithfield Pork processing after the Chinese were hit with swine flu which destroyed their pork industry by their takeover of Smithfield Pork processing. When learning of the Wuhan shutdown Trump cut off China air travel with the exception of only allowing American citizens returning..But was immediately attacked by CNN and the alphabet media outlets as a racist Republican action.
Sure looks suspicious particularly when crews of US naval vessels somehow wind up being infected by it while visiting certain Asian ports before that showed up in Italy.
But to stop the return of manufacturing of products back to the US that went to China. China backers here who’s family members are making millions from China through their political connections will be hit hard are also claiming that Trump’s alleged stock ownership in a quinine pills maker claim its a controlling interest in a product to be totally ineffective and when used requires a severe restriction of movement when near a possible carrier known as a shutdown because of its alleged rapid transmission spread by our media.
Some states are not even allowing church in cars!!
Well, bureaucrats have always been right about climate change
There’s not even enough info here to verify any part of the story.
Is saying what church it was that hard?
So no risk of CCPVirus at Walmart, right? Of of the thousands who visit stores each day, no contact tracing needed, right?
because they weren’t exposed in the grocery store. or home depot. or any of the other places they might have run into this individual. No it has to be the religious service. Go to church and the state can persecute you. Once you step outside your home you are exposed. We can either spend the rest of our lives in a bubble or we can go on with life
Side note the infected individual did NOT get it at the church service if they were symptomatic a day later. the incubation period is longer than that
“Possibly”
How many times a week should everyone over 60 get tested?
Spot on!
