Prime Minister’s Office said that Justin Trudeau is in self-isolation after his wife, Sophie Trudeau, developed fever.
According to the press release, Sophie Trudeau began exhibiting flu-like symptoms after returning U.K. She has been tested for coronavirus. Justin Trudeau has no symptoms and that he will be in self-isolation until the test results are back.
I have some personal news to share today. Sophie recently returned from a speaking event in the UK, and last night she was experiencing mild flu-like symptoms. She‘s feeling better, but following the advice of our doctor she is self-isolating as we wait on COVID-19 test results.

The release said, “The doctor’s advice to the prime minister is to continue daily activities while self-monitoring, given he is exhibiting no symptoms himself. However, out of an abundance of caution, the prime minister is opting to self-isolate and work from home until receiving Sophie’s results.”
“The Prime Minister will spend the day in briefings, phone calls, and virtual meetings from home, including speaking with other world leaders and joining the special COVID-19 cabinet committee discussion.”
Yesterday, Justin Trudeau announced $1B in funding as part of Canada’s whole-of-government response to COVID-19.
