Prime Minister
Justin Trudeau of Canada is currently in self isolation over coronavirus fears.
His office confirmed
this on Thursday, saying Sophie Gregoire-Trudeau, his wife, began to show
symptoms of illness after speaking at a programme in the UK on Wednesday.
“She is being tested
for the virus and both she and Mr Trudeau are staying home until the tests
results are returned,” BBC said in a report.
Trudeau was
scheduled to hold meetings over the next two days in Ottawa with provincial
premiers and First Nations leaders but the meetings have been postponed.
Meanwhile, Fabio
Wajngarten, communications secretary to Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, has
tested positive for coronavirus.
This development is
coming few days after the official met and took pictures with US President
Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence.

On Saturday, the
Brazilian officials had met with the US government at Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm
Beach, Florida, to discuss economic issues.
According to
Washington Post, Wajngarten showed symptoms of the virus after he returned to
Brazil.
After medical tests
were carried out on Thursday, results showed that the official had contracted
the virus.
He is currently
awaiting the results of a second test.
Sophie, Wajngarten’s
wife, confirmed the development on a Whatsapp group.
“My husband returned
from a trip to the United States yesterday and tested for covid, which turned
out to be positive,” she wrote.
The Brazilian
president who was also on the US trip, is reportedly being monitored for any
symptoms of the virus.
The US president had
earlier announced a suspension of travel from Europe to the US in a bid to
fight the spread of coronavirus.
