  • PM Justin Trudeau tests positive for COVID-19

OTTAWA - Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has tested positive for COVID-19, days after revealing he was isolating after one of his three children contracted the virus.

Trudeau took to Twitter to share about his latest condition with the virus.

Trudeau is fully vaccinated and received his booster shot at a local Ottawa pharmacy in early January.

Last Thursday, Trudeau said he was going into isolation for five days after finding out the previous evening he had been in contact with someone who tested positive.

On Friday, he told The Canadian Press in an interview that it was because one of his three children had tested positive for COVID-19.

Trudeau was set to deliver remarks and take questions from the media Monday morning through a remote news conference and also participate in question period through video conference.

Monday is the first day that members of Parliament are returning to the House of Commons after the winter holiday break.
