Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he is isolating for five days, after finding out he was exposed to COVID-19. 

Trudeau tweeting out this morning that he learned of the exposure last night. 

He has taken a rapid test that was negative, and notes while he will be working from home, he is feeling fine. 

The timing of his exposure means that he will remain in self-isolation during this weekend's "freedom convoy" of truckers arriving in Ottawa on Saturday. 

In recent weeks, several cabinet ministers have isolated due to positive test results or potential exposure.
