Gov. Gen. Mary Simon has tested positive for COVID-19, her office announced on Wednesday.
In a statement, Simon said that she is experiencing “mild symptoms” and will continue to self-isolate.
Rideau Hall announced Tuesday that Simon’s husband Whit Fraser has tested positive for COVID-19.
Both of them are fully vaccinated and boosted.
“As Whit and I are experiencing first-hand, we are not out of this pandemic yet, but we have made tremendous progress. We are both grateful for all those making a difference in our fight against this virus,” Simon said.
Taking care of ourselves and of each other should always be a priority.#VaccinesWork #VaccinesPlus #Covid19 pic.twitter.com/XFmGzDtPMS
