Trudeau's Minister of Global Affairs, Francois-Philippe Champagne, has gone into self-isolation after experiencing flu-like symptoms.
The minister, who replaced Chrystia Freeland in the fall, has also been tested for coronavirus. The results for this test should be clear in the next 48 hours.
On a statement on Twitter, Champagne said that "like many Canadians, I have been tested for coronavirus out of an abundance of caution as I began experiencing new flu-like symptom less than 14 days after returning from abroad."

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is also in self-isolation at the moment, after his wife Sophie tested positive for coronavirus.
"I will continue to work around the clock," said Champagne. "To support Canadians facing difficulties abroad and to coordinate the international response to this crisis."
"We must remember to practice social distancing and take all necessary precautions to protect each other in the face of this virus."
