A Jacksonville, Florida, church turned into a COVID-19 vaccination site after six members of the congregation died from the virus within 10 days. Impact Church senior pastor George Davis said at least 15 other members of the church reported having COVID-19 and some were hospitalized.
"When the Delta variant hit Florida, in Jacksonville over the last couple months we saw a significant uptick in people we know, or who were connected to his church in some way, that contracted the virus," Davis told CBS News. Davis said none of those who reported a positive test traced it to the church. He said Impact Church still follows social distancing, offers hand sanitizer and asks worshipers to wear masks.More Related News
