Foreign Affairs Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne says politicians need to follow the same advice as anybody else to stop the spread of the virus that causes the COVID-19 illness.

Handshakes are out, handwashing is in, and avoiding needless contact with others is key.

Champagne was supposed to travel to Pittsburgh for a meeting of G7 foreign ministers later this month, but the U.S. State Department says today that the gathering will be held by video conference instead.

Natural Resources Minister Seamus O'Regan is awaiting the results of a test for COVID-19 after going to a doctor with what he believes is a simple cold.
