The Deputy Prime Minister of Australia Barnaby Joyce has contracted COVID-19 while on a 10 day working trip to the United Kingdom (UK) and the United States (U.S.).

Joyce, who tested positive for the novel coronavirus after arriving in the U.S, was in the middle of talks to focus on levelling up Australia infrastructure ties with the UK and U.S. and on the Morrison government’s plan to tackle social media bullying.
