Related: About this forumU.S. Sen. Ted Cruz says he "briefly interacted" with person who tested positive for coronavirus
by Cassandra Pollock, Texas TribuneU.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said Sunday he had interacted with a person late last month at the Conservative Political Action Conference who has since tested positive for the new coronavirus.
"That interaction consisted of a brief conversation and a handshake," Cruz said in a statement, adding that he has decided to stay at his home in Houston "until a full 14 days have passed since the CPAC interaction," though the interaction did not meet the Center for Disease Control's criteria for self-quarantine.
Cruz also said in his statement that while he had not experienced any symptoms, he had already consulted with authorities from the Houston Health Department and the Department of Health and Human Services, among others, along with Vice President Mike Pence, U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and newly named White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows.
The conference was held at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center in Port Washington, Maryland from Feb. 26-29.

Matt Schlapp shook the same mans hand then shook Trumps hand. Watching Trump CPAC speech. Hes touched the microphone only thus far (31:30 in) on CBSN YOUTUBE AND STILL HASNT TOUCHED HIS FACE! Can he go 2 hours without touching his face? Its really quite remarkable.
