• A discussion of a situation where some of the members of Congress who attended AIPAC may have been exposed to infection by lawyer from Westchester County, NY, which has, so far, resulted in the quarantine of 26 people as well as attendees from Israel

AIPAC says 2 attendees from New York test positive for coronavirus

NYPost,

Two Westchester County residents who attended the American Israel Public Affairs Committee conference in DC earlier this week have tested positive for coronavirus, the group said Friday.

“We have confirmed that at least two Policy Conference attendees from New York have tested positive for Coronavirus. We have continued to remain in constant communication with the Westchester County Department of Health and the DC Health Department which is coordinating with the New York Health Department, and national health authorities,” AIPAC said in a statement on Twitter.

The pair were not identified.

“We have consulted with a top infectious disease specialist, Dr. Edward Septimus — adjunct professor of internal medicine at Texas A&M College of medicine,” the statement said.

“The guidance of these health professionals continues to be that all conference participants should follow CDC guidelines and consult their health care providers if they feel ill or have medical questions, it continued.

“If you test positive for coronavirus, we urge you to inform your local health authorities so they can properly coordinate their response to this situation with the appropriate health authorities.”

Washington lawmakers and others who attended the AIPAC conference were warned by the organization Wednesday that a group of attendees had potentially been in contact with a person from New York who had contracted coronavirus.

AIPAC said in an email to conference attendees, participants, speakers, administration and Capitol Hill officials who attended the D.C.-based conference that although there is no reason to “sound the alarm,” it was writing to make everyone aware that the potentially exposed group has been added to the self-quarantine list, Fox News reported.
