Ferguson appeared with Kemp at a rally on Tuesday, but it was unclear if Ferguson is the person to whom Hall was referring. Georgia has had more than 350,000 confirmed cases of the virus. More than 7,900 people in the state have died after contracting the virus, according to data from the state Department of Public Health.

Read full article: Georgia governor tests negative for COVID-19 after exposureBrian Kemp tested negative for COVID-19 after having had “direct exposure” to someone who tested positive, but he is quarantining as a precaution, according to a statement posted to his official Twitter account Friday. In a separate announcement Friday, U.S. Rep. Drew Ferguson of West Point, Georgia, said he had tested positive for the virus. CDC guidelines state that anyone “who has had close contact with someone with COVID-19 should stay home for 14 days after their last exposure to that person.” People can test positive several days after exposure even if initial tests come back negative. News of Kemp’s potential exposure comes three weeks into a new round of rising virus cases in Georgia. The governors of Oklahoma, Virginia and Missouri have previously tested positive for the virus.
