© Provided by The Canadian PressPrime Minister Justin Trudeau was isolating at home Thursday after being exposed to COVID-19 and some provinces were planning to revise some of their public health restrictions. Trudeau said the result of a rapid antigen test he took was negative, but he was following public health rules and isolating for five days. The government said it is revising its public health order as it shifts to treating the COVID-19 Omicron variant like other common respiratory viruses such as influenza. Public health measures were also being loosened in New Brunswick. He said the government will move toward a widespread relaxation of public health measures once pressure on the health system and COVID-19 hospitalizations trend down.
