Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s wife Sophie Gregoire Trudeau has tested positive for COVID-19, and Trudeau will remain in isolation for 14 days, according to the prime minister’s office.
“Following medical recommendations, Sophie Gregoire 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. She is feeling well, is taking all the recommended precautions and her symptoms remain mild,” said a statement on Thursday.
Justin Trudeau began self-isolating after his wife began exhibiting flu-like symptoms after returning from a speaking engagement in the U.K.
Gregoire Trudeau spoke at the WE UK Day conference in London on March 4, according to the organization’s website.
According to a statement from the prime minister’s office, she immediately sought medical advice after developing the symptoms and a low fever late Wednesday.
Canadian news outlet CTV reported that the couple’s children are not showing symptoms and are not being quarantined.
