An Alabama pastor says more than 40 people have been infected with the coronavirus after attending a multi-day revival event at a Baptist church. Pastor Daryl Ross of Warrior Creek Missionary Baptist Church in Marshall County 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. Ross told Al.com that “just about” everyone in the church has the virus. Services were shut down by Friday after one of the members who attended had tested positive for the virus. Over the weekend, dozens more fell ill.
