SACRAMENTO, Calif. (KRON) — Governor Gavin Newsom and his family are quarantining after being exposed to COVID-19.

Gov. Newsom said three of his children were exposed to a CHP officer who tested positive for the virus.

He says the entire family tested negative Sunday, but will still quarantine for 14 days as part of local guidance.

Jen and I had no direct interaction with the officer and wish them a speedy recovery.
