A person who attended CPAC last week tested positive for coronavirus. Many officials, including Trump and Pence, were also at the conference.
President Donald Trump, Vice President Mike Pence and other administration officials attended the conference, though the ACU says the attendee did not come into contact with the president or vice president, nor did they attend events in the main hall.When asked by reporters if he was worried about being exposed to coronavirus after he attended CPAC, Trump said,"I'm not concerned at all.
"At this time there is no indication that either President Trump or Vice President Pence met with or were in close proximity to the attendee. The President's physician and United States Secret Service have been working closely with White House Staff and various agencies to ensure every precaution is taken to keep the First Family and the entire White House Complex safe and healthy," according to the White House.
