Canadian PM's wife tests positive for coronavirus

The wife of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has tested positive for coronavirus.

Sophie Gregoire recently returned from London and had been exhibiting flu-like symptoms.

Her positive result was confirmed today.

Mr Trudeau will be put in isolation for 14 days as a precautionary measure.

"Also on the advice of doctors, he will not be tested at this stage since he has no symptoms," a statement from the Canadian government said.

"For the same reason, doctors say there is no risk to those who have been in contact with him recently."
