California Gov. Gavin Newsom & Family in Quarantine After Possible Coronavirus Exposure
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In California, Governor Gavin Newsom and his family have gone into
quarantine after his children were exposed to a member of the Highway
Patrol who contracted the coronavirus. Governor Newsom also apologized
Monday after photos emerged of him flouting his own coronavirus
guidelines while attending a dinner party at an exclusive French
restaurant in Napa on November 6. Newsom was photographed wearing no
mask and seated in a tight cluster of people that included the chief
executive of the California Medical Association and the group's top
lobbyist.

Gov. Gavin Newsom: "I made a mistake being with a few extra people
beyond the guidelines that I've been promoting, which is outside the
household. So it was a mistake, and I let my guard down, and I
apologized for it."
