Governor General Mary Simon has announced that she has tested positive for COVID-19.
In a statement on the GG’s Twitter account, Simon said she is experiencing mild symptoms but will take some time to rest in the coming days.
She added she had been self-isolating since her husband, Whit Fraser, tested positive on Tuesday.
“As Whit and I are experiencing first-hand, we are not out of this pandemic yet, but have made tremendous progress,” read the statement. “We are both grateful for all those making a difference in our fight against the virus.”
