Trudeau is not showing symptoms, but had already opted to isolate himself to avoid the possibility he could spread the virus
The prime minister’s wife, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, has tested positive for the novel coronavirus and will remain in isolation, his office said Thursday.
“She is feeling well, is taking all the recommended precautions and her symptoms remain mild,” the Prime Minister’s Office said in a statement.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau “is in good health with no symptoms,” the PMO said, adding that he will follow the advice of doctors and stay in isolation for 14 days. He will not be tested because he has no symptoms.
Grégoire Trudeau thanked people who have reached out to her.
“Although I’m experiencing uncomfortable symptoms of the virus, I will be back on my feet soon,” she said in a statement.
“Being in quarantine at home is nothing compared to other Canadian families who might be going through this and for those facing more serious health concerns.”
