Out of an abundance of caution, neither Ford nor Elliot will participate in today’s press conference, the Premier’s Office said, before Lecce learned of his test results.
Both will continue to monitor for symptoms and take appropriate action as necessary.
The Premier’s Office says the public will be notified once test results for Ford and Elliot are received.
On Wednesday, Minister of Colleges and Universities Ross Romano said that all ministers should follow the physical distancing measures needed.
