Ronna McDaniel, chairwoman of the Republican National Committee, has tested negative for coronavirus, a party spokesman announced on Wednesday, just days after she displayed flu-like symptoms following a trip to Mar-a-Lago.

"On the advice of her doctor, @GOPChairwoman was administered a test for COVID-19. That test has fortunately come back negative," Michael Ahrens, the RNC communications director, on Twitter.

McDaniel had come down with symptoms on Friday after attending a fundraiser at President Donald Trump's private club in Florida last week. A number of officials and foreign visitors had exhibited symptoms after visiting the club in the past month.
