Coronavirus: Canadian Prime Minister’s Wife Isolated As She Tests Positive

Canadian Prime Minister’s wife, Justin Trudeau, Sophie Grégoire, has tested positive for coronavirus.

This was made known in a statement last night released by the Prime Minister’s Office.

However, the statement clarified that the Prime Minister was “in good health with no symptoms.”

Mr Trudeau has been placed in 14 days isolation as a precautionary measure.

The wife was said to be “feeling well, taking the recommended precautions and her symptoms remain mild”.

The office had earlier yesterday announced that Grégoire was tested for the coronavirus after flu-like symptoms.

“Following medical recommendations, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau was tested for Covid-19 today. The test came back positive. Also following medical advice, she will remain in isolation for the time being,” it read.

No fewer than 5000 people out of 135,000 diagnosed have died and about 100 countries have reported incidences of the virus.

On March 11, the World Health Organisation (WHO) declared coronavirus a global pandemic.
