Barely three days after World Health Organisation (WHO) declared coronavirus a global pandemic, the wife of Canada Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Sophie Grégoire, has reportedly tested positive for coronavirus.
The Prime Minister’s office disclosed this in a statement Thursday night.
It, however, clarified that the PM was “in good health with no symptoms.”
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 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,” it read.
The deadly disease has killed 5,000 people out of 135,000. About 100 countries have been affected.
