Tests confirmed Friday that a bleeding ulcer was the cause of New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu\u2019s flulike symptoms, his chief of staff said.<\/p>\n
Sununu was admitted to a hospital earlier in the day after having flu-like symptoms since Wednesday. He had tested negative three times for COVID-19.<\/p>\n
“Tests have confirmed that a bleeding ulcer caused the symptoms the Governor has been experiencing this week,” Chief of Staff Jayne Millerick said in a statement. “After blood transfusion today, he is doing much better. He is extremely grateful to the staff at Portsmouth Hospital for their outstanding care and to everyone who donates blood. As a blood donor himself, he is happy he paid it forward and grateful to all who do the same.”<\/p>\n
It was not immediately known how long Sununu would remain hospitalized.<\/p>\n
Sununu, a Republican, had said Wednesday he tested negative for COVID-19, hours after his office said he wasn\u2019t feeling well, postponed a meeting and began isolating.<\/p>\n
“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!”<\/p>\n
Sununu, 46, is fully vaccinated against COVID-19. He received the single-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine on April 10.<\/p>\n
He took a trip to Kentucky on Monday to see how officials there are handling a surge in COVID cases.<\/p>\n
State Senate President Chuck Morse, a Republican, said he hopes Sununu has a quick recovery.<\/p>\n
“The entire Senate sends its best wishes to him, and I know people all across New Hampshire are keeping him in their prayers,” he said in a statement.<\/p>\n
