Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, wife of the Prime Minister of Canada, announced on Saturday that he had been cured of the coronavirus that had forced JustinTrudeau into isolation for two weeks. "I feel so much better. I received a positive report from my doctor "and from the Ottawa public health services, said Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, in a Facebook message on Saturday evening.

She had tested positive for coronavirus on March 12, after returning from a trip to London. This diagnosis led Justin Trudeau, who presented no symptoms, to start teleworking in the Prime Minister's residence, a few kilometers from his official office and the parliament.

"We will get through this difficult period and we will do it together"

Justin Trudeau, in solitary confinement since that date, gives his daily press briefings from the steps of his residence. Sophie Grégoire Trudeau wanted to thank "all those who (he) sent their best wishes". Stressing that it is “not easy to be alone”, she considered that “the physical distance necessary to protect oneself at this time should encourage us to create more emotional proximity”.

She also called on everyone to "follow health protocols and stay at home". "To all my wonderful, courageous friends and fellow Canadians, I want to tell you that we are going to get through this difficult period and we will do it together," she concluded.

Earlier in the day, Justin Trudeau had indicated during his press briefing that he planned to stay with his family in his home, even though his 14-day solitary confinement period had ended. “We are continuing to follow the advice of health experts. And as everyone should do, we must try to stay at home, to isolate ourselves as much as possible, not to go out if it is not absolutely necessary, "he said.
