"The advice from the State of Washington was to limit gatherings to 250 people."The chorale's board of directors told members not to come if they were showing any signs of illness or if they felt"their health or safety was in jeopardy."One member told CNN affiliate KIRO that no one seemed to be ill."During the entire rehearsal, no one sneezed, no one coughed, no one there appeared to be sick in any way," Carolynn Comstock told KIRO.
