“Glad you are now testing negative for COVID, Gov. Abbott,” he wrote on Twitter. “Health to you, Cecilia, Texas, and beyond.”

McConaughey ended his tweet encouraging Abbott and everyone in Texas to mask up, get vaccinated and to “just keep livin’.”

The governor’s office has been testing Abbott daily until Tuesday of last week, when he was tested positive. His wife, Cecilia, had tested negative.
