SALT LAKE CITY — The Tabernacle Choir of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints has canceled a rehearsal and live taping this Sunday– something that hasn’t happened since the pandemic.
Instead, this Sunday the choir will air an episode they taped on their trip to Mexico.
The cancellation comes a week after the choir kicked off its world tour in Mexico.
A spokeswoman for the church said a couple of members caught COVID-19 on their trip to Mexico. They were isolated and treated, but since arriving back in Utah more choir members tested positive.
Other members also have travel-related gastrointestinal illnesses.
A church spokeswoman said canceling the Tabernacle Choir rehearsal and taping will give choir members time to recover and will prevent the further spread of illnesses.
