[h=1]Ted Cruz Self-Quarantines After Contact With Person Who Tested Positive for Coronavirus . Senator Ted Cruz said Sunday he will self-quarantine after he learned that he came in contact with a person who tested positive for COVID-19, though he stressed he is showing no symptoms.[/h][FONT="]Cruz said on Twitter that the interaction, which consisted of a “brief conversation and a handshake,” took place 10 days ago at CPAC, the Conservative Political Action Conference which was also attended by President Trump. The Texas senator explained, “I’m not experiencing any symptoms, and I feel fine and healthy. 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.”[/FONT]
[FONT="]“Nevertheless,” he continued, “out of an abundance of caution, and because of how frequently I interact with my constituents as a part of my job and to give everyone peace of mind, I have decided to remain at my house in Texas this week, until a full 14 days have passed since the CPAC interaction.”[/FONT]
