The governor's office released a surprising announcement on Oct. 29 canceling Newsom's plans to attend the United Nations climate summit in Scotland to deal with unspecific family obligations.

The governor's spokesperson said on Oct. 29 that Newsom planned to participate in the climate conference virtually, but a delegation schedule released later did not feature any virtual events with Newsom.

Newsom spokesperson Erin Mellon said on Thursday the governor will participate virtually in "a couple" of the climate summit events next week. The office did not respond to questions on Friday about what the governor has been doing this week.

"The governor will participate in a couple events next week focused on global efforts to advance zero emission vehicles and to move beyond oil," Mellon said Thursday.

The governor was last seen receiving a Moderna CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus booster shot on Oct. 27.
