CLEBURNE COUNTY, ARKANSAS, Ark. According to Mark Palenske who is the pastor of Greer's Ferry First Assembly, a church in Cleburne County, he and his wife have tested positive for COVID-19, along with 24 others in his congregation.
"Our primary symptom at this juncture is a lingering nausea that keeps us wanting stillness and very small amounts of food," Pastor Mark Palenske said on the church's Facebook page.
"Thus far, we have 26 people connected to the church who have tested positive for Covid-19 and at least 16 more who have been tested and are waiting for results. Five of those 26 have been admitted to the hospital (including Dena, earlier in the week) and one more is being transported as I write."
Palenske said it's been 12 days since he and Dena first began feeling the symptoms.
