WINNIPEG — Manitoba Opposition Leader Wab Kinew says he has tested positive for COVID-19 and is self-isolating.

In a social media post, Kinew says that he is double-vaccinated, his symptoms are mild, and his wife and children are doing well.

Kinew says the test result came as a surprise.

He plans to participate virtually in this week’s throne speech and the fall legislature sitting.
