6 members of PM's staff, security test positive for COVID-19

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said he’s taking all precautions and following all public health guidelines after three members of his staff and three members of his security team tested positive for COVID-19.

Trudeau said he has taken multiple rapid tests which all have come back negative, but still opted to hold a virtual press conference on the COVID-19 situation in Canada on Wednesday out of an abundance of caution.

“Following public health guidelines, I’m being careful about everything I do,” Trudeau said.

Trudeau said public health authorities have told him to reduce his contacts but haven’t recommended he fully self isolate at this
