His wife, who tested negative, is also self-quarantined.
Pace attended the annual conference for the Consortium of Endowed Episcopal Parishes (CEEP) last month in Louisville, Kentucky. He started feeling sick after returning from the conference and tested negative for the flu twice.
Health officials said that based on their exposure to Pace, the rest of the congregation is “at no risk.”
