(CNN) Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel was tested for coronavirus Friday night after experiencing a fever and flu-like symptoms and is self-quarantining as she awaits the results, a committee spokesman said in a statement Saturday. RNC communications director Michael Ahrens tweeted that McDaniel's doctor determined the test was necessary based on her symptoms. She was tested for coronavirus after she went to her local hospital in Michigan where she tested negative for the flu and strep. McDaniel and her family will be self-quarantining at the advice of doctors as she awaits the results of the test, Ahrens said. McDaniel was also at the Senate GOP lunch on Tuesday, but she did not come in close contact with Trump, a spokesman said.
