McDaniel, 46, lives in Northville and went to a local hospital after coming down with symptoms on Friday. "Last night, Chairwoman McDaniel began experiencing a fever and flu-like symptoms, and she went to her local hospital in Michigan for treatment," RNC spokesman Michael Ahrens said. "Flu and strep tests were administered and came back negative." "Her doctor determined a test for COVID-19 was necessary given her symptoms." Ahrens said the party is attempting to contact everyone she has come in contact with in recent days and that upon the advice of her doctors she and her family are self-quarantining at home while they await the test results.
