Christmas party hosted by Berger has some in quarantine
RALEIGH — Guests at a Christmas party hosted by Senate leader Phil Berger (R) of Eden were potentially exposed to the coronavirus, and some are now quarantining, a spokesman for Berger confirmed Wednesday.
"The gathering probably looked identical to any scene at any of the hundreds of locations where people eat lunch or dinner every day in Raleigh," Berger spokesman Pat Ryan wrote in an email. "Guests had a meal at a restaurant. They wore masks when walking in the building and using the restroom, etc., but not while eating their food."
Ryan said one guest informed the others Wednesday morning that they likely were positive at the time of the party. As of Wednesday afternoon, no others had reported testing positive, according to Ryan.
Those who came into close contact with the positive person are now in quarantine, he added.
