Virginia health officials are urging congregants and visitors to the chapel at the largest Episcopal seminary in the country to monitor themselves for symptoms of the coronavirus after a Washington, D.C., resident with COVID-19 recently spent time there.
The Alexandria Health Department was notified Tuesday that a D.C. patient went to the Immanuel Chapel of the Virginia Theological Seminary on Seminary Road between Feb. 26 and March 4, the health department said in a release.
The Very Rev. Ian Markham, dean of the Virginia Theological Seminary, told News4 that the organist of Christ Church Georgetown in D.C., who now has COVID-19, recently played at the chapel. In addition, some seminarians attended a Lenten event at Christ Church where they came into contact with the church rector, D.C.'s first coronavirus patient.
Markham said 14 seminarians are in voluntary isolation.
