CBC NEWS:<\/strong>\u00a0Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Monday he has tested positive for COVID-19 and, so far, he\u2019s feeling \u201cfine.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The prime minister and his family were moved from their\u00a0residence, Rideau Cottage, over the weekend as a convoy of truckers and other anti-vaccine-mandate protesters converged on Parliament Hill to oppose the federal government\u2019s pandemic restrictions.<\/p>

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is holding a news conference this morning as protesters demonstrating against vaccine mandates continue to gridlock\u00a0part of the city.<\/p>\n

A cacophony of honking and cheering filled the city for two days over the weekend as thousands of protesters voiced their opposition to various vaccine mandates.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Some honking resumed sporadically\u00a0in the early hours of\u00a0Monday and vehicles continue to block streets in the downtown core.<\/p>\n

Trudeau, who was not at his home in Rideau Cottage over the weekend\u00a0and his office would not discuss his whereabouts for security reasons, will make remarks and take questions from reporters at 11:15 a.m. ET as the House of Commons returns after the holiday break.<\/p>

The prime minister remains in isolation after one of his children tested positive for COVID-19 last week.<\/p>
