Trudeau’s wife tests POSITIVE for coronavirus, Canada's PM has “no symptoms” but to remain in self-isolation

PM’s other half began displaying symptoms consistent with those reported by the patients that developed pneumonia due to the novel coronavirus on Wednesday night, which prompted her to seek doctor’s help and eventually get tested for the virus.

The tests came back positive, the PM's office reported Thursday night.

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 Canadian leader himself, who voluntary went into self-quarantine, working from home pending his wife’s testing, is said not to be sharing any of his wife’s symptoms that include low fever.

"The Prime Minister is in good health with no symptoms," his office said.

Although it has been widely reported that those who are infected with the virus might not show any symptoms – or be asymptomatic – the office said that Trudeau won’t undergo any tests at this point of a time “since he has no symptoms.”

The PM will continue to remain in self-isolation for the next two weeks.
