Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said he had tested positive for Covid-19 but was feeling fine and would continue to work remotely while following public health guidelines, reports Reuters.

Trudeau went into isolation last week after one of his children tested positive but at the time a rapid test for him came back negative, he told the Canadian Press.

"This morning, I tested positive for Covid-19. I'm feeling fine — and I'll continue to work remotely this week while following public health guidelines," tweeted Trudeau, who will not be able to be in Parliament later on Monday when it reopens after a winter break. He intends to attend remotely.
