As the Ontario election date approaches, two of four of the province’s main political party leaders have tested positive for COVID-19.
Green Party Leader Mike Schreiner announced Wednesday night in a news release that he received a positive result from a rapid test following close contact with a staff member. Schreiner said he is “feeling fine” and has adjusted his plans to campaign from home while isolating.

NDP Leader Andrea Horwath delivered similar news in a press release Thursday morning and will not attend her previously planned in-person campaign stops in northern Ontario remotely.
All four party leaders were in close proximity with one another Monday night for the one-and-only televised debate of the 2022 election campaign. A spokesperson for Steven Del Duca said the Liberal leader tested negative following the news of Schreiner and Horwath’s positive test results. “He is symptom free and feels great, and he wishes Mike and Andrea speedy recoveries,” the spokesperson said. Meanwhile, a spokesperson for the PC Party responded to an email from CTV News Toronto inquiring about leader Doug Ford’s status saying, “He’s not experiencing any symptoms." Ivana Yelich said, because “it’s been more than 48 hours” since the debate, “he’s not considered a close contact.” Yelich added he has also tested negative. Speaking to CP24 Thursday morning, University Health Network’s Medical Director of Infection Prevention and Control Dr. Susy Hota said the positive cases among party leaders should serve as a reminder that COVID-19 is still being transmitted throughout Ontario. --------ADVERTISEMENT--------
