Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will isolate himself for 14 days after his wife, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, tested positive for coronavirus.

Sophie Gregoire Trudeau was feeling unwell and would remain in isolation for 14 days, the Prime Minister’s office said in a statement late Thursday.

The first lady of Canada had returned from a speaking engagement in Britain and had mild flu-like symptoms, including a low fever, late on Wednesday night.

“The Prime Minister is in good health with no symptoms. As a precautionary measure and following the advice of doctors, he will be in isolation for a planned period of 14 days,” the statement added.

“Also on the advice of doctors, he will not be tested at this stage since he has no symptoms. For the same reason, doctors say there is no risk to those who have been in contact with him recently,” the statement said. The office said he would resume his duties on Friday.

Sophie Trudeau also issued a statement thanking those who have reached out.

“Although I’m experiencing uncomfortable symptoms of the virus, I will be back on my feet soon,” she said.

“Being in quarantine at home is nothing compared with other Canadian families who might be going through this and for those facing more serious health concerns.”

Canada has more than 140 confirmed cases, with one death – an elderly nursing home resident in British Columbia.
