Trudeau revealed in a tweet Thursday that he was going into isolation for five days after finding out Wednesday evening he’d been in contact with someone, whom he didn’t identify, who had tested positive.
Trudeau says he’s working from home, attending a virtual Liberal caucus retreat today; he’ll also have to participate virtually Monday when the House of Commons resumes business after a six-week break.
