Tenn. pastor invited to White House round-table event contracts COVID-19

Published: Jul. 31, 2020 at 12:14 PM CDT

JONESBOROUGH, Tenn. (WVLT/WJHL) - A Tennessee pastor who gained national attention after donating $1,000 to every Jonesborough Department of Public Safety employee is now battling COVID-19, according to a report from WJHL.

After the story about Pastor Perry Cleek of Lighthouse Missionary Baptist Church in Jonesborough went viral, he was invited to a round table event at the White House.

Nearly one week after attending the event, Pastor Cleek began to experience symptoms of COVID-19.

“It started with a really severe cough that lasted two or three days but it’s mostly gone,” Cleek told WJHL.
