OTTAWA – The Prime Minister’s Office says Sophie Gregoire Trudeau has tested positive for the novel corona virus.
Following medical advice, the prime minister’s wife is remaining in isolation for the time being.
The PMO says in a statement that she is feeling well, is taking all the recommended precautions and her symptoms remain mild.
It says the Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is in good health with no symptoms.
Trudeau announced earlier Thursday that he would be in isolation and working from home after his wife showed mild flu-like symptoms.
He also called off a planned appearance at the Public Health Agency of Canada and a scheduled meeting with his provincial, territorial and Indigenous counterparts in Ottawa.
