New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu (R) was admitted to hospital on Friday with flu-like symptoms that have lasted days, the Associated Press reports.
“Governor Sununu has been admitted to Portsmouth Hospital this afternoon for additional testing,” Chief of Staff Jayne Millerick said in a statement. “He is in good spirits and confident in his care. More information will be shared as it becomes available.”
Millerick said Sununu was hospitalized “as a precautionary measure to determine the cause of the flu-like symptoms he has been experiencing this week.”
The governor is fully vaccinated and even though his symptoms are similar to a coronavirus infection, he tested negative for the virus three times.
“I woke up with symptoms similar to COVID and out of an abundance of caution I took two rapid antigen tests, which came back negative, and then followed up with a PCR test, which confirmed the negative,” Sununu had said. “I am going to rest up, and look forward to getting back to the State House soon!”
