Fifty children were possibly exposed to the coronavirus at a Christmas parade in Georgia after the man and woman playing Santa and Mrs. Claus tested positive for COVID-19, officials said Monday.
The two unidentified people playing the duo received their positive test results Saturday, two days after the Long County Chamber of Commerce’s parade, Long County Commissioners Chairman Robert Parker said in a news release.
The parade was followed by a tree-lighting ceremony and a chance for children to get a picture taken with Santa.
“While this event was not put on by the City of Ludowici or the Long County Board of Commissioners, it was well-attended by our public officials, and I believe I speak for the majority of them in saying that we still stand by the decision of the Chamber to move forward with these holiday traditions and to bring some sense of normalcy to these trying times,” said Parker.
He added that his children took a photo with Santa and that he has known Santa and Mrs. Claus his whole life.
