The police service for Parliament Hill has launched a review of its COVID-19 protocol after one of its members tested positive for the virus. As first reported by CTV News, the individual notified the Parliamentary Protective Service (PPS) on Sept. 10 of the positive test result after visiting parts of the parliamentary precinct in Ottawa. A contact tracing investigation has identified 19 PPS employees who came into direct contact with the individual. The PPS said the 19 employees have been directed to contact public health authorities, follow the advice provided and monitor themselves for symptoms. The news comes one day after Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet and members of his caucus put themselves in isolation after a staffer in the leader's office tested positive for COVID-19.
