Newsom, 54, is vaccinated and has received two booster shots, the most recent on May 18, according to a statement.

“The governor has also received a prescription for Paxlovid, the antiviral that has been proven effective against COVID-19, and will begin his 5-day regimen immediately,” his office said.

“Grateful to be vaccinated and for treatments like Paxlovid,” Newsom said in a tweet.
