The staffer was in contact with Ford on Monday, and was tested on Tuesday after learning they had been at risk of exposure, according to Ivana Yelich, spokesperson for the premier.

That staff member received a positive test result on Tuesday evening.

Ford left the Ontario legislature to be tested as soon as he learned the staffer was at risk of exposure, Yelich said in a statement. The premier has received a negative test result.

"While his test results have returned negative, the premier will follow all public health advice for close contacts of positive cases, including isolating," she said.
