From Oklahoma-

The leader of the Episcopal Church in Oklahoma has undergone testing for COVID-19.

The Rt. Rev. Ed Konieczny, bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Oklahoma, said local health authorities administered the coronavirus test on Monday. He said he expected the results on Tuesday afternoon.

In a phone interview with The Oklahoman, Konieczny said he had been traveling overseas in the past few weeks to Zanzibar and Nairobi, Africa, plus Chicago and he had also visited different parts of the state.

He said he began exhibiting possible symptoms of the coronavirus on Saturday and called his health care provider. Konieczny said his doctor contacted local health authorities and they decided that he should be tested for COVID-19.

The bishop said he shared the details about his testing in a video emailed to Episcopal parishes on Monday evening.
