Mar 12, 2020 | 10:15 AM

OTTAWA–Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s wife Sophie Gregoire Trudeau is being tested for COVID-19 and the couple is self-isolating at home pending the results.

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.

Gregoire Trudeau began exhibiting mild flu-like symptoms including a low fever late last night after returning from a speaking engagement in the U-K.
Trudeau worked from home this morning and has now cancelled the First Ministers meeting.

While they won’t meet in-person, both Trudeau and Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland will speak with the premiers and territorial leaders on the phone to discuss the COVID-19 pandemic.

Friends, I am at home today, feeling unwell.

I have been in contact with a doctor and they do not believe I have symptoms consistent with COVID19. But their advice is for me to limit contact with the public until I am feeling better.
