Kamal Khera, who is the MP for Brampton-West, has been working as a nurse in an attempt to alleviate the strain on the healthcare system. It was during this time that she began to experience flu-like symptoms and self-isolated immediately.
In a statement posted to Twitter, Khera said "last night I was informed that I had tested positive for COVID-19."
"While I am still experiencing symptoms, I am in good spirits. I know that many Canadians are in much worse circumstances. My thoughts are with all families who have been affected by this public health crisis," she added.
