His children play with Lego in their rooms, his wife spends a lot of time on the phone: Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Friday offered a glimpse into the Canadian first family\u2019s COVID-19 quarantine while reassuring an anxious nation that he continues to govern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI want to be clear. I have no symptoms. I\u2019m feeling good. Technology allows me to work from home,\u201d Trudeau told a news conference outside his official residence in Ottawa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The announcement was made on Thursday that the 48-year-old Canadian leader, his 44-year-old wife and their three children, aged 6-12, would be confined for 14 days to the house a few kilometres from parliament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sophie Gregoire-Trudeau started feeling flu-like symptoms, including a low fever late on Wednesday after flying back from a speaking engagement in London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSophie\u2019s symptoms remain mild,\u201d said her husband. \u201cWe are thinking about all the families across the country who have received the same diagnosis, but we\u2019re in good hands.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Working from home, Trudeau has maintained a busy schedule: phone calls to Emmanuel Macron, Donald Trump, Giuseppe Conte, Canadian provincial and territorial leaders, and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He has remained in contact with his cabinet and officials, unveiling on Friday a slew of measures and money to combat the spread of the virus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019ve been very busy both yesterday and today. I\u2019ll continue to work from home remotely to do the important things that need to be done to keep Canadians safe,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
