Her test came after Liberal MNA Monsef Derraji, who represents the Montreal riding of Nelligan, announced he contracted COVID-19 on the weekend. He said he underwent screening as a “preventive measure” after his daughter’s school sent a letter recommending she be tested.

Derraji said he will be in isolation and urged people to take care of themselves as the health crisis continues.

The provincial legislature is set to resume sitting this week after summer break.
