And it starts again for the Canadian Prime Minister. Justin Trudeau announced on Monday that he had again tested positive for Covid-19 without however having serious symptoms, as in January.
“I will follow public health guidelines and self-isolate. I’m fine, and it’s thanks to my vaccines, ”explained on Twitter the head of the Canadian government who was traveling last week in Los Angeles at the Summit of the Americas with about twenty other leaders. During this summit, he notably had a bilateral meeting with US President Joe Biden.
Fewer and fewer Covid cases in Canada
This is the second time in a few months that the Canadian Prime Minister, 50, has tested positive for Covid. On January 31, at the start of the trucking crisis, he had to be placed in solitary confinement for several days after a positive test. Justin Trudeau received three doses of the vaccine and again urged Canadians to get vaccinated in his tweet: “If you haven’t already, get your shots or booster shots. Let’s protect our healthcare system and protect each other.”
While the virus is still circulating in Canada, “indicators of disease activity still show signs of decreasing transmission in most areas,” public health said a few days ago. Nationally, the positivity rate for lab tests from May 25 to May 31 fell further to 8.4%.
