Roman Catholic Church officials in Las Vegas say they have temporarily closed a church where a priest conducted Mass this week before learning he had tested positive for COVID-19.
The Diocese for Las Vegas said in a news release Thursday that Holy Family Catholic Church would be cleaned and sanitized and that it would be closed until further notice.
Church officials said the priest wore a mask and used a hand sanitizer, but they recommended that anyone who attended the Mass conducted 8:30 a.m. Wednesday be tested.

Officials also said those working at the parish who came in contact with the priest have been told to self-quarantine and be tested.
