Canada: Justin Trudeau tests positive for covid-19 after the infection of one of his children | International

canadian prime minister, Justin Trudeaurevealed on Monday that he contracted covid-19, after testing positive, but is doing well and will continue to work remotely “following public health guidelines.”

Trudeau reported the positive result via his Twitter account and urged Canadians to get vaccinated and given a booster dose against covid-19.

Trudeau himself has the full covid-19 vaccine schedule as well as a booster dose.

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 forced Trudeau and his family to be moved from their official residence to a safe, 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.

“I feel fine and will be working from home,” said Trudeau, who also said he took a rapid test which came back negative.

A day later, Friday, Trudeau himself revealed in an interview that one of his three children had contracted covid-19, which had forced him to confine himself.

Trudeau is the third member of his family to contract the disease. At the start of the pandemic, the Canadian politician’s wife, Sophie Grégoire, fell ill with the coronavirus and recovered normally.
