Commissioners, advisory delegates, and staff of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) are learning this week that Covid has not gone away. Leaders of the 225^th General Assembly learned Wednesday morning that a handful of commissioners and one staff member have tested positive. At this point, only mild symptoms are reported among the group, but they were not able to attend their final committee meetings in person.

Los comisionados, delegados asesores y el personal de la Iglesia Presbiteriana (EE. UU.) están aprendiendo esta semana que el Covid no se ha ido. Los líderes de la 225ª Asamblea General se enteraron el miércoles por la mañana que un puñado de comisionados y un miembro del personal han dado positivo. En este momento, sólo se han registrado síntomas leves en el grupo, pero no han podido asistir en persona a las últimas reuniones del comité.
