PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — Gov. Tom Wolf said he has now received two negative PCR tests since his COVID-19 diagnosis earlier this week.

The governor tested positive for the virus on Tuesday, but he said he felt fine and wasn’t experiencing any symptoms.

He has since received two more tests — one on Wednesday evening and another on Thursday. Both came back negative.

The governor’s office said it appears Wolf’s positive test came at the end of his stint with the virus. Wolf said he was asymptomatic the entire time.

First Lady Frances Wolf tested negative as well.

The governor said he will continue to quarantine and carry out his job from home in the coming days.
