Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said he would self-quarantine after interacting with a person at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) who was later found to have contracted the COVID-19 coronavirus.

Cruz, in a statement on Sunday night, wrote that he was informed over the weekend that he “briefly interacted” with the COVID-19 patient at the conference, which also featured a speech from President Donald Trump, in late February.
