Gov. Phil Murphy says officials aren’t aware of any COVID-19 cases
stemming from the campaign fundraiser that President Donald Trump held almost
two weeks ago at his Bedminster golf club.
The governor said Tuesday state and county officials have been
working to contact all attendees but have not heard of any cases that trace
back to the event. He is
still expressing disappointment in the president's decision to come to the
state considering the circumstances.
"You know, knowingly
traveling to New Jersey, when there was known exposure to folks who were COVID
positive is not part of that rule book that I just went through a minute ago,”
says Gov. Murphy. “You got to take yourself off the field. And that was
extremely disappointing."
The White House said last week that the president did not have any
contact with anyone that would be considered close, based on CDC guidelines.
