Following medical advice, the prime minister’s wife is remaining in isolation for the time being.

The PMO says Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is in good health with no symptoms.
As a precautionary measure and following the advice of doctors, he will be in isolation for a planned period of 14 days. He will not be tested at this stage as he has no symptoms and as such, doctors say there is no risk to those who have been in contact with him recently.
The Prime Minister will continue his duties as per usual and will address Canadians on Friday.
