Public Health is defending its decision not to publicly report potential public exposure to COVID-19 at a Saint John church.
RiverCross Church informed its congregation this week that two people who attended services on March 28 later tested positive for the virus.
In a letter, pastoral staff said they were made aware of the first case on April 3 involving an adult who attended Sunday worship.
“While the risk was presented to us as low, we felt it wise to move to an online service on Easter Sunday,” said the letter.
Two days later, the church was informed that a child from the same family who attended the RiverKids program the same day had also tested positive.
