Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he is isolating at home after learning that he was exposed to someone who had tested positive for COVID-19.

He says the result of a rapid antigen test he took was negative, but he is following Ottawa Public Health (OPH) rules and isolating for five days.

Last night, I learned that I have been exposed to COVID-19. My rapid test result was negative. I am following @OttawaHealth rules and isolating for five days. I feel fine and will be working from home. Stay safe, everyone – and please get vaccinated.

Several of Trudeau's cabinet ministers in recent weeks have had to isolate after positive tests, or because they were potentially exposed to the virus.
