BUTTE COUNTY, Calif. — A person who later tested positive for the coronavirus after attending a church service in California on Mother’s Day has possibly exposed more than 180 others to the virus.
The church in Butte County, California, defied a state order prohibiting gatherings of any size, county health officials said.
