Five people who attended the ceremony have tested positive for the virus, the governor's office said. The first person to test positive was someone who had recently traveled to Florida.
However, one of the people who tested positive also attended a"Field Night" event on June 20, which was also attended by juniors and seniors and students from surrounding school districts. Tim Walters, a former Republican candidate for the General Assembly, said that he had a dry cough for months but it recently worsened. He said he then began to experience an excruciating headache, a fever and the inability to focus with one of his eyes, which led to vertigo.
