Ohio governor Mike DeWine has tested positive for the coronavirus, according to a statement from his office released on Thursday. . DeWine was scheduled to greet President Trump on the tarmac of the Burke Lakefront Airport in Cleveland on Thursday, prior to a presidential visit to a household-appliance factory in the swing state.
Unlike other party leaders, DeWine has been an early and frequent voice of pandemic prevention: In March, he was the first governor to shut down schools statewide, and Ohio was one of the earliest states to announce stay-at-home orders. This summer, as cases began to rise in the state, he warned residents that “the enemy is here.” On July 22, DeWine issued a statewide mask mandate, clarifying on August 4 that K-12 students returning to school this year must also wear face coverings.
DeWine is now the second American governor to test positive for the coronavirus. Oklahoma governor Kevin Stitt, also a Republican, tested positive in July.
