On June 10, former Utah Governor Jon Huntsman (R) announced that he had tested positive for COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus. Huntsman, who served as governor of the Beehive State between 2005 and 2009, is once again making a bid for the governor’s seat in Utah’s 2020 gubernatorial election.

Huntsman wrote in a tweet that he had experienced “classic symptoms.” He said he was initially given incorrect test results by the Salt Lake County Health Department before receiving the correct results.

Huntsman served as Ambassador to China under President Barack Obama (D) from 2009 to 2011, and as Ambassador to Russia under President Donald Trump (R) from 2017 to 2019.

He will face off against Spencer Cox, Gregory Hughes, and Thomas Wright in the Republican primary on June 30, 2020.
