Alberta Health Services advises that people who attended the church between July 26 and August 12 should get tested for COVID-19 as soon as possible. 

They have also been told to monitor for symptoms. 

In addition to the church, McDonald's Canada team members in the Edmonton area have also tested positive for the illness, leading the company to shut down one of their locations for a day.
