(Star Advisor) The coronavirus outbreak at King’s Cathedral & Chapels on Maui has now been linked to 77 cases, according to the Department of Health’s weekly cluster report issued today.
The DOH on March 31 named King’s Cathedral as the source of an “imminent health threat” posed by the cluster, which at the time numbered 55 cases. Church officials downplayed the outbreak, saying the cases were scattered across its two dozen congregations in Maui County and that infections were declining.
Despite DOH recommendations to suspend in-person events and hold virtual services, King’s Cathedral proceeded with Easter Sunday services at its main Kahului sanctuary, with options to attend in- person, on a drive-in basis or online.
