Cincinnati EnquirerView CommentsCOLUMBUS - Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine's second COVID-19 test came back negative Thursday evening. for the novel coronavirus on Thursday morning&nbsp;using a rapid test. That test was&nbsp;part of the protocol to greet President Donald Trump on the tarmac at Burke Lakefront Airport in Cleveland.DeWine then returned to Columbus and took a second COVID-19 test from Ohio State University's Wexner Medical Center. That polymerase chain reaction or PCR test came back negative late Thursday night.&nbsp;First Lady Fran DeWine and staff members also tested negative.&nbsp;The first test was an antigen test. The second test was a PCR test, which looks at specific genetic material for the virus. It's known to be more sensitive and accurate.PCR tests for the governor, first lady and staff were run twice and came back negative both times. They were run on two different diagnostic platforms."We feel confident in the results from Wexner Medical Center," DeWine said in a released statement.&nbsp;"This is the same PCR test that has been used over 1.6 million times in Ohio by hospitals and labs all over the state."Antigen or rapid tests aren't prevalent in Ohio yet. DeWine announced on Tuesday that Ohio would soon acquire 500,000 rapid tests ."We will be working with the manufacturer to have a better understanding of how the discrepancy between these two tests could have occurred," DeWine said in the statement.Mike and Fran DeWine plan to take another PCR test Saturday, out of an abundance of caution and at the direction of doctors. Those results will be released.&nbsp;DeWine had planned to quarantine for 14 days at his Cedarville home. He already keeps a small circle of in-person contacts: his wife, Lt. Gov. Jon Husted, security personnel and a few staff members."I spend most days right here anyway," DeWine said via videoconference from the front porch of his home. "I’m on the phone a lot. I’m on conference calls a lot."View Comments
