At least 1,000 people attended events held by the church earlier this month, according to county officials.

"If there is not a fire capacity number for the room, limit occupancy to 100 people, or 7 people per 1,000 square feet, whichever is less," the NCDHHS noted.

Mecklenburg County Public Health has been trying to contact 131 close contacts of the 82 confirmed cases and at least 127 people have been tested, according to the statement. One local, Catherine Williams , reported her mother-in-law died after attending one of the recent church events, while the sister of her mother-in-law, who also attended the event, was reported to be hospitalized, Charlotte's WBTV reported.

Her mother-in-law lived in a nursing home in Charlotte and she also voted at an early voting site on Monday before she passed away, according to Williams.

If only someone had told them to wear masks, social distance and don't do any kind of gatherings.... I feel bad for all the innocent people they have infected that didn't go there.

stupid is as stupid does.

What?,Say it ain't so,Do you mean to tell me,That God didn't protect them from the virus,Surely after some were infected,They prayed for Gods healing&too protect them.Did God ignore the prayers.The Bible says 'Everything that you will ask in prayer and believe,you will receive.'

Well gosh. If only they had a warning that gathering in a small indoor place without masks and social distancing would cause a risk for covid.

Joe and Kamala are bringing hope to USA! Vote! Due to the late slow disastrous approach to pandemia by Trump, USA is a huge graveyard with more than 223000 coronavirus patient’s deaths. Trump destroyed the economy and cannot respond to racial crisis properly! Vote !

3/100=3% died. How many did not get infected? Very important to know but essential for newsweek to keep hidden. Why are you deceiving the people? What are you getting out of it? How do you sleep at night?

As predestined by the Providence for complacency!

Yay for “pro lifers”!

Who is spreading the coronavirus? People aren't. They are under attack by Globalists who wants to control them.

How many sick? How many dead? Doing nothing about Covid19 ISN’T WORKING! Vote for change!

Karma Their Sky Daddy
