As provincial NDP leader Andrea Horwath continues to recover from COVID-19, her federal counterpart Jagmeet Singh is gearing up to campaign Tuesday in London, Ont.
He is due at the campaign office of North Central London candidate Terence Kernaghan at 4.30pm where he will be joined by other local candidates and supporters.

Singh will also make a stop in Brantford, Ont., on behalf of Horwath, who contracted COVID-19 last week.
Earlier this month, Singh confronted a group of protesters outside a campaign event in Peterborough, Ont.
Social media posts show protesters shouting profanity and calling him a “liar” and a “traitor”, repeatedly saying he is “not welcome”.
Singh said the aggressive verbal harassment was one of the “most intense, threatening and insulting” experiences of his political career.
Peterborough Police said there were no grounds to pursue criminal charges.

However, Ontario Green Party Leader Mike Schreiner, who also contracted COVID-19 last week, is expected to virtually resume campaigning on Tuesday.
Ontario PC Party Leader Doug Ford will travel to Brampton, Ont., on Tuesday morning and Liberal Leader Steven Del Duca will stop in Toronto.
Election day is June 2.
