A priest and a staff member at Holy Innocents Catholic Church, located at 431 Bedford Road in Pleasantville, tested positive for COVID-19

The two individuals have potentially exposed many people over four days of services, the Westchester County Department of Health said.

Anyone who attended the following services must quarantine, as required by the New York State Department of Health, for 14 days (regardless of a negative COVID-19 test) from that last visit to the Church during these days:

  • Monday, Aug. 24 – Morning Mass
  • Tuesday, Aug. 25 – Morning Mass
  • Saturday, Aug. 29 – First Communion Ceremonies
  • Sunday Aug. 30 – All Masses, Except for the 9 a.m. Mass

Contacts of contacts, meaning secondary exposed people, are currently not at risk and do not have to quarantine, the Westchester County Department of Health stated.

"The County is currently working closely with the Church, the Archdiocese of New York, the Pleasantville School District and the Village and will continue to update the public as information becomes available," said the department.

This continues to be a developing story.
