Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Monday he has tested positive for COVID-19, but is “feeling fine″ and will continue working remotely.

In a tweet, he announced the news and asked everyone to be vaccinated.

Trudeau announced on Thursday that Trudeau was in isolation for five nights after learning the following evening that he’d been in touch with someone who had tested positive. According to Trudeau, that person was one his children.

Trudeau was previously isolated from home during the first months of the pandemic, after his wife had tested positive.

Canada has one of the world’s highest rates of vaccination against the coronavirus — shots which are primarily designed to keep those who become infected from falling seriously ill.

This announcement came after a weekend of demonstrations against lockdowns, vaccine masks, and mandates in Ottawa. Some demonstrators drove in trucks with others and blocked traffic on streets surrounding Parliament Hill.
