Manitoba’s premier is self-monitoring for COVID-19 symptoms following a meeting with Quebec premier François Legault, who is self-isolating after being in contact with a confirmed case.
Brian Pallister was in Ottawa on Friday alongside several other conservative premiers, where he came into contact with the Quebec premier during a "working lunch".
Legault is self-isolating after having contact with federal Conservative leader Erin O'Toole, who received a positive COVID-19 test result on Friday.
A spokesperson for Pallister’s office says all public health guidelines were followed at the premiers’ meeting, and that several members of his team are also self-monitoring for symptoms.
The Manitoba premier was in the nation’s capital calling for the federal government to put forward $28 billion to help provinces manage rising healthcare costs.
