Hours after testing positive for the coronavirus Thursday, forcing him to miss a visit to the state from President Trump, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine tested again -- this time with a negative result, his office reported.
Instead of meeting with the president in Cleveland, DeWine returned to the state capital of Columbus to undergo another test -- a so-called PCR test that his office said was "extremely sensitive, as well as specific, for the virus."
The governor's wife, Fran DeWine, and staff members also reportedly tested negative.
"The PCR tests for the Governor, First Lady, and staff were run twice," a statement from DeWine's office said. "They came back negative the first time and came back negative when they were run on a second diagnostic platform." CLICK HERE FOR MORE.
