The governor's office announced on Wednesday that he and first lady Fran DeWine were exposed to the virus after two staffers recently tested positive.
As a result, DeWine canceled his public events through Sunday.
His office said both had tested negative and had no symptoms, adding they are fully vaccinated and have received their COVID-19 booster shots.
In August 2020 the governor tested negative for COVID-19 hours after testing positive earlier in the day before he was to meet with President Donald Trump. DeWine was an early and strong advocate for people to get the vaccine.
