After his wife tested positive for the novel coronavirus, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau governed remotely from his home in self-imposed quarantine while the country shut down Parliament and advised against all non-essential travel outside the country.
Trudeau’s wife, Sophie Gregoire Trudeau, tested positive for coronavirus after returning from Britain.
He said his wife has mild flu-like symptoms but was doing fine, adding that neither he nor their three children are showing symptoms.
Trudeau spent Friday in briefings, phone calls and virtual meetings from home, including speaking with other world leaders and joining a special Cabinet committee discussion on the coronavirus, the Associated Press reported.
The Prime Minister has remained in contact with his cabinet and officials, unveiling a slew of measures and money to combat the spread of coronavirus.
