Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau tested positive for Covid-19 for the second time, just a few days after meeting in person with President Joe Biden.

Trudeau said he feels fine, and that’s because he’s vaccinated.

He tested positive after meeting with Biden and other leaders at the Summit of the Americas in Los Angeles. Biden took a “family photo” with Trudeau and met him on Thursday. In January, he was positive with his wife.
