Following a routine PCR test this afternoon ahead of interstate travel to Western Australia, I have returned a positive result for COVID this evening. 

I have been testing regularly as part of my election campaign duties. 

I will be isolating at home in Sydney for the next 7 days and will continue to follow health guidelines and advice. 

While at home I will continue my responsibilities as alternative Prime Minister and will be fighting for a better future for all Australians. 

I am grateful to know that I will have access to the world’s best health care if I need it, because of Medicare. 

I am feeling fine so far - and thank everyone for their well wishes.
