Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he’s tested positive for COVID-19

OTTAWA-Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he has tested positive for COVID-19.

Trudeau posted on Twitter that he got the positive test result Monday morning. He has been in isolation since last Wednesday when he said that he'd had a positive contact.

CP reported that the contact was one of his children, but the PMO had not identified which of his children had contracted the virus.

I'm feeling fine - and I'll continue to work remotely this week while following public health guidelines. Everyone, please get vaccinated and get boosted," Trudeau tweeted.

As a massive truck convoy protesting vaccine mandates arrived in Ottawa starting Friday, Trudeau and his family shifted away from Rideau Cottage to another location in the national capital region. He has not spoken to the protesters but was scheduled to hold a news conference Monday.

More to come.
