TORONTO, March 12 (CTVNews) -- Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is self-isolating after his wife, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, began exhibiting mild flu-like symptoms after returning from a speaking engagement in the U.K.

According to a statement from the Prime Minister’s office, she immediately sought medical advice and is being tested for COVID-19. Both are self-isolating at home awaiting test results.

“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,” read the statement.

“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.”
