Ford and Elliot are both scheduled to be at today’s daily COVID-19 press conference.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford and Minister of Health Christine Elliott have both tested negative for the COVID-19 coronavirus, following concerns yesterday that the two had potentially been exposed to the virus.
"To be clear, both Premier Ford and Minister Elliott have had no known contact with anyone who has tested positive for COVID-19, and as a result, there is no need for either of them to self-isolate," said Ivana Yelich, spokesperson for Ford's office, to the CBC.
According to a letter from the premier's office, Ford and Elliott felt a test was necessary following news that Education Minister Stephen Lecce had been in contact with a virus carrier.
Stephen Lecce has also tested negative for the virus.
