U.S. Federal Aviation Administration chief Steve Dickson told employees that he will self-quarantine at home for seven days after a brief interaction with one of two members of Congress who have tested positive for COVID-19.

Dickson said he is feeling well and said he has not received a test because he is symptom-free.

"The smart and constructive thing for me to do is stay home," Dickson said.

Some news outlets on Wednesday published photos of Dickson shaking hands with Representative Mario Diaz-Balart, who has now tested positive, during a congressional hearing last week.
