Patty Hajdu: public health officials will be reaching out to everyone who had contact with Sophie Trudeau

Health Minister Patty Hajdu says public health officials will be reaching out to everyone who had contact with Sophie Gregoire Trudeau since she became symptomatic.

The prime minister's wife was diagnosed with COVID-19 yesterday after returning from the U.K.

Hajdu says that, because of the relatively low number of cases in this country, it's still possible for public health officials to do ``contact tracing'' for people diagnosed with the illness.

The country's deputy chief public health officer says Gregoire Trudeau was not symptomatic on the plane, so it's not necessary to reach out to those who flew with her.
