'I'm not experiencing any symptoms, and I feel fine and healthy,' Cruz said.
Republican Senator Ted Cruz of Texas and Congressman Paul Gosar of Arizona announced Sunday they will self-quarantine for 14 days after being informed they had both briefly interacted with an individual, who tested positive for the coronavirus, at CPAC.."That interaction consisted of a brief conversation and handshake."
"I'm not experiencing any symptoms, and I feel fine and healthy," the senator explained."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.
Cruz says that medical authorities have"explicitly" advised him that anyone who has interacted with him since CPAC"should not be concerned about potential transmission," but noted he will quarantine himself for the full 14 days in his Texas home"out of an abundance of caution." Before arriving at his decision, Cruz said he consulted with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention , the Department of Health and Human Services and Houston health officials, as well as Vice President Mike Pence, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Congressman Mark Meadows.
