Wolf said he will be working remotely like numerous people are, according to the press release.

“As this virus rages, my positive test is a reminder that no one is immune from COVID, that following all precautions as I have done is not a guarantee, but it is what we know to be vital to stopping the spread of the disease,” Wolfe said in the statement.

“I ask all Pennsylvanians to wear a mask, stay home as much as possible, socially distance yourself from those not in your household, and, most of all, take care of each other and stay safe.”

As of noon Wednesday, there have been 410,973 confirmed coronavirus cases in Pennsylvania, the state’s website said. 

Wolf’s office didn’t immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.
