D.C. health officials are recommending that anyone who visited a historic Georgetown church on Feb. 24, or between Feb. 28 and March 3, self-quarantine after its rector tested positive for the new coronavirus.

At a news briefing Monday, Mayor Muriel Bowser said the city’s health department continues to investigate whether any exposure occurred at the Christ Church Georgetown and advised those who attended services on those dates to self-quarantine for 14 days after the most recent day they visited — regardless of whether they are feeling ill.

The Rev. Timothy Cole, the church’s director, was named as the District’s first confirmed case on the organization’s Facebook feed over the weekend. The recommended self-quarantine is likely to impact hundreds.
