Pastor at White House Event Joins List of Infected

A California pastor who attended the Rose Garden announcement for Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett has tested positive for COVID-19, becoming at least the 10th person at the White House event to test positive for the virus.

Pastor Greg Laurie, the lead pastor of the Harvest Christian Fellowship in Riverside, California, said, “It really is a pandemic that has swept our nation and even the world,” Laurie said in a video he posted on Facebook.
