Dear Friends,
Greetings Holy People:
I know you have just received an update earlier this day, but I have just received the following new information from one of our parish families and wanted to keep everyone informed as soon as pertinent information is made available to us.
We have received word of a parishioner being diagnosed with the covid-19 virus. This person last attended the 5:00 p.m. Mass at the St. Paul Chapel on Saturday, March 14, 2020 prior to Masses being suspended the next weekend. Prior to that, this parishioner did attend the Alpha program and was part of the kitchen crew on Wednesday, March 11, 2020. Those are the last contacts the parishioner has had with people in our parish.
The person began developing symptoms around the March 21/22 and was hospitalized on Friday, March 27. The positive test for the covid-19 virus was yesterday, Sunday, March 29, 2020. This person remains hospitalized at this time in Baptist Floyd Hospital.
According to the government website
www.coronavirus.org
the longest known incubation period for the virus is 14 days.
While this person’s last contact in the parish is outside of that time period, we are, out of an abundance of caution, making you aware of the situation.
If you are having symptoms of the covid-19 virus, please consult with your healthcare professional.
Please keep this family in your prayers.
God bless you all.
Love,
Fr. Tom
