Teen Challenge co-founder recovers from COVID-19

Pastor Don Wilkerson has recovered from the coronavirus after coming down with the virus in early March.

Wilkerson, the co-founder of Teen Challenge and brother of the late David Wilkerson, says he first became ill with pneumonia after returning from a trip to the Brooklyn Teen Challenge chapter early last month.

The pastor says he could hardly walk or talk and he was rushed to the hospital to be tested for COVID-19, reports CBN News.

Doctors performed the test and sent Wilkerson home to await his results with Tylenol for his fever. A week later, Wilkerson learned he had tested positive.

By the time he learned his results, however, Wilkerson had become very ill. He was again taken to hospital and prescribed hydroxychloroquine.
