They both are fully vaccinated and have gotten a booster shot.

Whitmer was continuing to isolate from Mallory in the governor’s residence in Lansing. Spokesperson Bobby Leddy said the governor will keep a virtual and remote schedule for now. She will continue her custom of getting tested twice a week.
