(CNN) Organizers of the Conservative Political Action Conference announced Tuesday that the attendee who tested positive for coronavirus attended an event the evening before the conference's first general session was held. Previously, the earliest event the attendee was thought to have participated in was Thursday, when larger sessions with the major conference speakers started. The American Conservative Union , the organizers of CPAC, said in a statement that "if you attended that event you are at very low risk for infection. It takes about five days for symptoms to show after contracting this particular coronavirus." In a statement included in the CPAC release, a representative of the unnamed individual's family said: "Our family appreciates the good wishes, prayers and respect of privacy during this time."
