Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has tested positive for Covid-19 after returning from the Summit of the Americas in Los Angeles, where he met in-person with leaders from the region including US President Joe Biden.

Biden isn’t considered a close contact of Trudeau’s, White House spokesman Kevin Munoz said by email Monday.
