KEY POINTS President Donald Trump had contact with two Republican congressmen before their announcements that they were entering self-quarantine after learning they had been previously exposed to someone diagnosed with coronavirus.

Rep. Doug Collins of Georgia shook hands with Trump last Friday when the president traveled. Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida flew on Air Force One with Trump on Monday.

Collins and Gaetz said they had been in contact with a person at the Conservative Political Action Conference who since has been diagnosed with coronavirus.

The White House said Trump had not been tested and that he has not displayed any symptoms.

The White House said later Monday that Trump had not been tested for coronavirus. "The President has not received COVID-19 testing because he has neither had prolonged close contact with any known confirmed COVID-19 patients, nor does he have any symptoms," Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham said. "President Trump remains in excellent health, and his physician will continue to closely monitor him." She added: "Per current CDC guidelines, medical professionals should base testing decisions on patient symptoms and exposure history." There is no need for Trump to self-quarantine because of his contact with Gaetz and Collins, according to Dr. Ali Khan, a professor in the Department of Epidemiology at the College of Public Health of the University of Nebraska Medical Center. Khan told CNBC that people need to self-quarantine if they have "direct contact with a confirmed infected person, not contact with a contact." Both congressmen said they had no symptoms of the virus. Gaetz has been tested for the virus "and expects results soon," according to his tweets.
