N.J. Governor Leaves Event After Staff Member Tests Positive for Virus
Gov. Philip D. Murphy of New Jersey abruptly left a news conference, saying he had just been informed that a person who was in close contact with him on Saturday had tested positive for the coronavirus.
I was just informed by my colleagues that I was in close proximity to someone on Saturday who has just tested positive. I will now, unfortunately, have to take myself off the field. I can’t ask President Trump not to come to Bedminster and do a fundraiser, and have me sit here. I have no symptoms, again, I tested negative on Monday, but I got to go take myself at least off the field and get tested again today. As you all know, just because — if I was with someone Saturday night and you got tested Sunday morning, that doesn’t really tell you a lot. You got to wait and see to make sure there wasn’t any incubating. So, I apologize. John, thank you for hosting us; Donald, to you and everything you do, Jonathan to you and your colleagues. Rob, Rachel again, Dave bless you and your colleagues. Pat, love you. Thanks, everybody. Take care.”
