Coronavirus: First lady infected, husband isolated
A statement Thursday night confirmed that Canada’s First Lady Sophie Grégoire has tested positive to coronavirus.
Her husband and PM Justin Trudeau has therefore been isolated.
But the statement clarified that the PM was “in good health with no symptoms.”
The wife was said to be “feeling well, taking the recommended precautions and her symptoms remain mild”.
The office had earlier Thursday 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,” the statement read.
Coronavirus, which broke out of Wuhan, China, has killed 5,000 people out of 135,000 infected across 100 countries.
