Yesterday #whereisdougford began trending on Twitter

And last night we found out where the premier is, after he was noticeably absent from the legislature for the last two days.

In a statement released last night, Doug Ford's office says he is in self isolation after coming into close contact with a staff member who has tested positive for COVID-19.

His office says the premier has since tested negative for COVID but will self isolate for 14 days at home as a precaution.

The statement also says "The premier will continue leading this government’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic while in isolation, including briefings with officials and communicating with the public."
