The church involved is closed for a deep clean
A churchgoer who was at a service in Churston Ferrers near Brixham on Sunday [1 March] has tested positive for Coronavirus.
The Church of England said in a statement that St Mary’s Church is temporarily closed for a deep clean, while members present on Sunday have been informed and asked to contact Public Health England for advice.
Anyone who feels unwell and has a cough, high temperature or shortness of breath should phone NHS111.
The Reverend Professor Gina Radford is a vicar in South Devon and was Deputy Chief Medical Officer for England until 2019.
She has been advising the Church of England on its Coronavirus Guidance and said “We as a church are here to support people both spiritually and practically, to listen to concerns if they are worried and to affirm and confirm the official health guidance.”
