"Following medical recommendations, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau was tested for COVID-19 today. The test came back positive."

The statement added that although Sophie was feeling better, she would remain in isolation until further notice.

Justin and Sophie got married in 2005 and subsequently welcomed their three children – Xavier, Ella-Grace, and Hadrien.

CNN further conveyed that the 44-year-old had come down with minor flu-like symptoms on March 11 soon after she attended a speaking engagement in the UK.

Soon after she was confirmed as a carrier of the virus, health officials began reaching out to those that had come in contact with her. Sophie's husband had also been placed in isolation for 14 days as a "precautionary measure."

CNN also added that the Prime Minister's wife had extended her regards to people who had shown her love and support during this period.

As worrying as the situation is, Sophie isn't the only prominent figure who has contracted the disease in recent times.
