(CNN) Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel was tested for coronavirus Friday night after experiencing a fever and flu-like symptoms and is self-quarantining as she awaits the results, a committee spokesman said in a statement Saturday.

RNC communications director Michael Ahrens tweeted that McDaniel's doctor determined the test was necessary based on her symptoms. She was tested for coronavirus after she went to her local hospital in Michigan where she tested negative for the flu and strep.

McDaniel and her family will be self-quarantining at the advice of doctors as she awaits the results of the test, Ahrens said. And, out of an abundance of caution, the RNC said it will be contacting everyone McDaniel came in contact with in recent days.

McDaniel last met with President Donald Trump on Monday in Orlando, her spokesman told CNN. She did not attend a White House political briefing on Wednesday.

McDaniel was also at the Senate GOP lunch on Tuesday, but she did not come in close contact with Trump, a spokesman said.
