The Chattanooga-Hamilton County Health Department says that those who attended a Chattanooga Bar Association event may have been exposed to COVID-19. The bar association confirmed that Rev. Brad Whitaker of St. Paul's Episcopal Church served as the "clerical officiant" at its Memorial Service on Feb. 28, exactly two weeks prior to him being the first individual in the county to be diagnosed with the virus. CBA Executive Director Lynda Hood told Channel 3 that she alerted all members immediately. The health department has asked that all who attended the service contact them at 423-209-8383.
