California Governor Gavin Newsom says that he has tested positive for COVID-19 and is “experiencing mild symptoms,” he announced the news on his Twitter page Saturday.
Newsom said that he is currently following health guidelines and will be isolating while he works remotely. Newsom is fully vaccinated.
