Justin Trudeau, Canadian Prime Minister, tests positive for Covid-19

Source: CNN

Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has tested positive for Covid-19, he announced Monday, as his nation continues to face a surge in cases due to the Omicron variant, as well as rowdy protests in the capital over pandemic health restrictions.

"This morning, I tested positive for COVID-19," tweeted Trudeau, who is fully vaccinated and boosted. "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 and his family have been isolating for days after announcing an exposure to Covid-19. At least one of his three school-age children also has tested positive, according to the Prime Minister's office. Trudeau did not disclose how he was exposed. He met in person Wednesday with several members of his Cabinet.

The Trudeau family has been relocated to an undisclosed location as a precaution as protests continue in Ottawa by those opposing Covid-19 health restrictions. The events began as a protest by truckers opposed to vaccine requirements and gained followers calling for an end to other Covid-19 mandates.
