Ted Cruz self-quaratines after interaction with CPAC attendee who has coronavirus

Sen. Ted Cruz said he would remain at home in Texas for the next week after he interacted with a person infected with coronavirus at the Conservative Political Action Conference.

The Texas Republican said he was informed Saturday night abut his brief interaction with the infected individual but noted he has not experienced any symptoms.

“The interaction consisted of a brief conversation and a handshake,” Cruz said in a statement Sunday.

“I am not experiencing any symptoms, and I feel fine and healthy,” he added. “Given that the interaction was 10 days ago, that the average incubation period is 5-6 days, that the interaction was for less than a minute, and that I have no current symptoms, the medical authorities have advised me that the odds of transmission from the other individual to me were extremely low.”
