As part of their efforts to curb the spread of the deadly virus, Trump urged Americans to wear face masks and take the precautions seriously.

COVID-19 knows no discrimination in choosing a host body to infect, which makes everyone a possible victim of the virus.
Among the many who contracted the disease is Canada Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s wife, Sophie Gregoire.

Luckily, the Canadian Prime Minister was spared from getting the virus as he showed no symptoms and felt well and healthy.
