KTRK legendary Anchor Dave Ward is in the hospital.

The station says his tests results for COVID-19 were negative.

“Dave loves Houston, and the beautiful thing is, you love Dave back,” Dave's wife Laura told the station. “He never asked you for anything until two weeks ago, when he requested prayers on my behalf. Now it is my turn, hopefully with your help, to return the favor. Please join me and Dave’s Channel 13 family in praying him back to good health.”

Ward appeared on KTRK last month to ask for prayers for Laura Ward after she battled double pneumonia in the hospital.

KTRK Anchor Melanie Lawson said she had talked to Ward in the hospital and he hopes to be home soon.
