A federal lawmaker is closing his Washington office and going into quarantine because he was with a person who has the new coronavirus for \u201can extended period of time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) said he was remaining at his house in Arizona until the conclusion of the two-week period following his interaction with an attendee of the Conservative Political Action Committee (CPAC) who later tested positive for the new virus, which causes a disease called COVID-19.<\/p>\n

Gosar said the extended contact included shaking the persons hand several times. According to health experts, close personal contact, including shaking hands, is one way the new virus spreads.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am not currently experiencing any symptoms, nor is any member of my staff. However, in order to prevent any potential transmission, I will remain at my home in Arizona until the conclusion of the 14-day period following my interaction with this individual,\u201d Gosar said in a statement, adding that he was closing his Washington office for the week.<\/p>\n

Gosar said his team would follow a previously approved plan to work remotely.<\/p>\n
