CPAC chairman reveals he had 'contact' with coronavirus sufferer and went on to shake Trump's hand as Ted Cruz and other leading Republicans self-quarantine after shaking the man's hand

The Chairman of the American Conservative Union has revealed that he interacted with a 55-year-old man infected with coronavirus before shaking hands with Donald Trump.

Matt Schlapp said he feels 'healthy as a horse' after the 'incidental contact' with the man who is now recovering in New Jersey following the event in Washington DC February 27 to March 1.

Texas Republican Ted Cruz has admitted that he shook hands with the infected man and has put himself into 14-day quarantine.

'Last night, I was informed that 10 days ago at CPAC I briefly interacted with an individual who is currently symptomatic and has tested positive for COVID-19,' Cruz said in a statement Sunday. 'That interaction consisted of a brief conversation and a handshake.'
