Louisiana's Attorney General Jeff Landry (R) announced Tuesday morning that he had tested positive for the coronavirus and would as a result not meet Vice President Mike Pence when he arrives in the state later in the day.
The Louisiana Advocate reported that Landry emailed employees at the state Department of Justice informing them of his diagnosis, and explained that he was self-quarantining.
"Out of an overabundance of caution with the Vice President coming to our state, I was tested for Cornavirus," he wrote, according to the Advocate. "Though experiencing no symptoms, I tested positive for COVID-19."
Pence is in the state for a part of the day Tuesday to meet with Gov. John Bel Edwards (D) and other state officials about Louisiana's efforts to stop the spread of the coronavirus, as the rate of new cases has exploded in Louisiana and a number of other states across the country.

Asymptomatic. Probably the best kind.
So close, and yet so far.
