Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine said that he has again tested negative for coronavirus, according to a statement released by his office.
DeWine had tested positive earlier in the week, but then later that day announced that via a separate test he tested negative.
The test that DeWine originally took was a rapid-result test and, according to The Associated Press, considered to be less accurate than the one he took later.
His office called the first positive result a “false positive.”
DeWine’s wife, Fran, had the same results.
