Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced on Monday (31.01.2022) that he has tested positive for COVID-19, as indicated by a positive result in a test taken this morning, but is fine, without serious symptoms, and that he will continue to work remotely “following public health guidelines.
Trudeau tweeted the result and called on Canadians to get vaccinated and given a booster dose against COVID-19.
“This morning I tested positive for COVID-19. I feel fine and will continue to work remotely this week while following public health guidelines,” he wrote.
The president has the full schedule for the vaccine against the virus, as well as a booster dose.
Ottawa between protests
Trudeau’s positive comes as thousands of people have demonstrated in the Canadian capital since the weekend to protest against the policies and measures adopted in Canada to contain the pandemic.
The presence of radical elements of the anti-vaccine movement and other extremist groups resulted in the relocation of Trudeau and his family from their official residence to a safe and undisclosed location in Ottawa.
Last Thursday, the Canadian Prime Minister indicated that he was starting a five-day quarantine, following the rules established by the health authorities, after having been in close contact with a person affected by the disease.
