236 people got the coronavirus after an Oregon church held services during lockdown -- more evidence

[mfcorey1]

A small church in northeastern Oregon has been linked to the state's largest coronavirus outbreak to date.

State health authorities said this week that more than 230 cases were tied to an outbreak at the Lighthouse Pentecostal Church in Union County, which held services in defiance of Oregon's stay-at-home order.

The cases contributed to Oregon's second consecutive day of reporting record-high new cases. On Tuesday, the state reported 278 new cases, 94 more than the previous record of 184. The surge prompted Gov. Kate Brown to put a hold on the state's reopening plan for the next week.

The cluster of cases offers further evidence that gatherings at houses of worship are highly risky when it comes to coronavirus transmission.
