Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine has tested positive for COVID-19, according to a release by the state.

DeWine was set to welcome the President in Cleveland today and was tested as part of normal protocol for those greeting the President.

He has no symptoms, the release said, and will be quarantining at his home for 14 days.


DeWine is the second governor to test positive. Oklahoma’s Kevin Stitt tested positive for the virus in June.

Vince Grzegorek has been with Scene since 2007 and editor-in-chief since 2012. He previously worked at Discount Drug Mart and Texas Roadhouse.
