Ontario Premier Doug Ford is isolating after learning that a staff member he came in close contact with Monday has tested positive for COVID-19.

In a statement released late Tuesday night, the premier’s office said that the staff member was tested today after learning that they had been at risk of exposure and that the test came back positive.

Other members of the premier’s office who had close contact with the staff member who tested positive will also isolate, Ford's office said. Although Ford is currently isolating, his office said that he will continue to carry out his duties as premier and communicate with the public.

Didn’t he just get vaccinated?

Why does he isolate himself when he has taken the vaccine? Why is he afraid .. I hope for an answer .. Because there are many questions, and some of them are likely that the vaccine is not good, or that the one who took it is not a vaccine but a trick

BS - he is hiding out

Shouldn’t the people in his press conference Friday be isolating as they had their masks off while speaking indoors Wouldn’t prudent health advice be stay home get tested like we all get told to do in similar workplace exposures

This man has to go

Karma would be for Ford to get Covid suffer just a bit and come out and say I had it it hurts or sucks I have to be better at managing this and I will karmaisabitch

HIDE from scrutiny. Didn't Trump try this ?

fordnation celliottability is the isolation time with pay? Just curious. I do hope your staffer gets PaidSickDays and that all remain well. Might be a good time to reevaluate for all essential workers so they and families and our healthcare system are less taxed.

Does he have paid sick days?

I bet HE’S getting laid sick days! FordMustGo

Sure hope he gets paid!!! 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼

He can still resign in quarantine. FordResign

Sorry but this is such convenient timing.

All you angry people on here , if you think you could do better why not run in our next election?

Begin with the TrudeauCOVIDColludingPM end in mind. From the PMO: Q2 2021: Daily new COVID-21 cases, Enhanced Third Lock Down, Universal Basic Income, Canada’s HealthPass transition, Projected inventory shortages, large scale economic instability.

His shady colleagues said he was trying to get more vaccines. Why not just tell us the truth in the first place? What else are they lying to us about?

Betcha he's at the cottage by the weekend.

Oh that’s why he was not around. Okay.

StreetVillain I guess his one dose mean he’s not fully vaccinated eh? Lol. Hypocrisy by the hour now

Investigate! Another lie!

Several days ago, Doug sat at a table with three other cabinet members and Dr Williams, all within a foot or two of one another. They took masks on and off for the hour-long briefing, whilst lecturing us on the social doatancing protocols. Unbelievable hypocrisy.

I don’t buy it. But it gets him out of any public appearances, doesn’t it?

Rki009 Great timing , a cool down period so people will soften their harsh stance

Ford has just started isolation due to possible exposure. His continued salary is a form of paid sick days.

Keep safe and healthy Premier. No one envies the position you are in.

This worthless hiding dougfordmustresign

He doesn’t want to speak to the media so he has gone into hiding. This is probably made up. Very convenient. He has mismanaged the pandemic in Ontario and is doing worse in the polls. A political tactic this is.

But oh no, what will he do with no paid sick days?...🤦🏻‍♀️

Its probably a lie so he doesnt face the backlash in queens park

Ya I'd probably be looking for a reason to hide out too, lol.

When this is proven a lot it will be the nail in this coffin fordnation FordMustResign

Without pay, yes?

Tell heat blows over

Like he wasn’t already vaxed

I see doug is using his paid sick days. At least the taxpayers care about his wellbeing enough to make sure he can do that :p

And he goes into hiding? No cameras at his house? No Twitter phone? JustinTrudeau still did pressers. This is a complete lie

But Mr. Ford? you were vaccinated. So why not get a rapid test each morning before you go to work.

Like to say I'm surprised, but....
