Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his wife are in self−isolation over fears that they may have contracted the new coronavirus after his wife, Sophie Gregoire Trudeau, began showing flu-like symptoms.

“The prime minister will spend the day in briefings, phone calls and virtual meetings from home including speaking with other world leaders and joining the special COVID-19 cabinet committee discussion,” his office said in a statement. The move forced the cancelation of an in-person meeting with Canada’s first ministers.
