US Lawmaker Says was Exposed to Coronavirus before Meeting Trump

Agency Report/

A US lawmaker announced Monday that he was exposed to the new coronavirus at the CPAC conservative conference in late February, just days before he met with President Donald Trump.

Republican Representative Doug Collins said he was photographed at the conference with a person who has tested positive for the new coronavirus.

He added that while he himself has no symptoms, he has “decided to self-quarantine out of an abundance of caution”.

Collins was seen with Trump last Friday visiting the Atlanta, Georgia headquarters of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention where they were briefed on the virus’ spread.
