Last week, the Canadian prime minister went into isolation after one of his children contracted the infection but at the time a rapid test for him came back negative, he told the Canadian Press.

The 50-year-old premier also went into isolation for two weeks in March 2020 at the start of the pandemic when his wife, Sophie, tested positive for novel coronavirus.
