Wife of Canadian PM Justin Trudeau has been tested for coronavirus

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

According to a statement released Thursday morning, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, 44, recently returned from the United Kingdom and began displaying mild flu-like symptoms, including a low fever, on Wednesday night.

Mrs Trudeau is currently self-isolating at the Prime Minister's residence in Ottawa and is awaiting the return of her test results. Her symptoms have reportedly subsided.

Prime Minister Trudeau is not displaying any symptoms of the virus himself, but is also self-isolating and spending the day working from home 'out of an abundance of caution'.

An in-person First Ministers Meeting, which was scheduled for Thursday, has been postponed.

Prime Minister Trudeau will instead spend the day taking phone calls and conducting 'virtual meetings'.

116 people in Canada have tested positive to coronavirus.

Justin and Sophie Trudeau have been married since 2005, and share three children.
