CTV
Ottawa mayor Jim Watson says he has tested positive for COVID-19 and will remain in isolation.
In a tweet Saturday, Watson said he is not experiencing symptoms.
This comes just days after a member of the mayor's staff tested positive for COVID-19, causing Watson to go into isolation as a precaution. He cancelled all meetings and events and said he would remain in his home while awaiting test results.
Watson was tested early this week, with a negative result on Monday.
With Watson's positive test, he says he will remain in isolation for another eight days.
