Trudeau began treatment on 13 March after the prime minister’s office announced that she had contracted the coronavirus disease. Her husband, Justin Trudeau, has yet to test positive for the disease and has reported no symptoms.

“I wanted to give you all an update: I am feeling so much better and have received the all clear from my physician and Ottawa Public Health", Trudeau wrote on Facebook.
