Justin Trudeau isolating after possible exposure to COVID-19

Trudeau was exposed to COVID-19 in the earliest days of the pandemic when his wife Sophie Grégoire contracted the virus in England. Trudeau went into isolation at that time as well, coinciding with the beginning of daily briefings at Rideau Cottage in March of 2020.

In Dec. 2021, three members of Trudeau’s staff and three members of his security team tested positive for the virus, but Trudeau didn’t get infected then either.
