Orrin Heatlie, a retired Yolo County sheriffs deputy who helped launch the effort to recall Gov. Gavin Newsom, says he has contracted COVID-19.
Heatlie told The Times on Tuesday that his symptoms were mild, that he didnt need hospitalization and that he was at home recovering.
Heatlie said that since testing positive for the coronavirus on Aug. 28, he has self-isolated and that he will not have human contact until he gets a clean bill of health and tests negative.
People need to continue to stay diligent and stay safe, he said. Protect one another. Wash your hands and wear a mask where appropriate.

Heatlie confirmed Tuesday he is not vaccinated, but the retired deputy said he is not anti-vaccination, noting that his wife and daughter received their shots.
