Ted Cruz extends self-quarantine after Spanish official tests positive for coronavirus

Published



Just when Sen. Ted Cruz thought he was wrapping up his self-quarantine, he found out he came in contact with a Spanish government official who had coronavirus.

The Texas Republican announced on Friday he would be extending his self-quarantine because of a meeting with Spain’s Vox Party leader Santiago Abascal on March 3. Abascal tested positive for COVID-19 on Thursday. Cruz told CBS News he was not concerned about his health but wanted to be as cautious as possible to not spread the disease.
