Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.), who is set to become President Trump's next acting chief of staff, will self-quarantine at his home after learning that he may have come into contact with a person who later tested positive for the novel coronavirus, his office said.

Meadows is one of several GOP lawmakers that attended the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Maryland last month to announce that they gone under a self-quarantine.

Reps. Doug Collins (R-Ga.), Paul Gosar (R-Ariz), Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) have said they were in contact with the individual at the convention that later tested positive for the virus.

"Out of an abundance of caution, Meadows received testing which came back negative," Meadows spokesperson Ben Williamson said. "While he’s experiencing zero symptoms, under doctors’ standard precautionary recommendations, he'll remain at home until the 14 day period expires this Wednesday."
