A 56-year-old man with the coronavirus attending a single church service in Ohio led to the infection's spread to at least 91 other people across five counties.
Gov. Mike DeWine posted a graphic to his Facebook page Wednesday detailing how the virus spread over a three-week period from the date of the church service on June 14 to July 4.
"It spread like wildfire," the governor said at a news conference Tuesday where the graphic was displayed. "Very, very scary."
DeWine noted on his Facebook page, "All it takes is one person to cause tremendous #COVID19 spread."
He wrote that while this case of community transmission stems from an Ohio church, it can happen anywhere.
"I continue to encourage everyone to wear masks and social distance whenever you gather — including at worship services," he wrote.
