Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who has been in self-isolation since his wife Sophie tested positive for coronavirus last month, said on Monday he would try to keep working from home “as much as possible," AFP reports.

“I'm planning on returning to the office in the coming days, but my work will be continuing overwhelmingly from home,” he said during his daily news conference outside Rideau Cottage, his official residence in Ottawa. “I'm going to continue working from home as much as possible,” he said.

“That is what we are asking everyone to do. We are asking people to stay at home if it's possible, and, as we showed in the last three weeks... working from home has been very good in this situation,” he said.

Trudeau's wife, Sophie Gregoire Trudeau, announced on March 28 that she had recovered from the coronavirus.
