Justin Trudeau is running Canada and bath-time simultaneously

The news was not good. Not only did Justin Trudeau’s wife Sophie Gregoire test positive for the coronavirus after a trip to the UK, but that meant the Canadian Prime Minister would have to quarantine immediately, along with his three children.
Although huddled together in historic Rideau Cottage in Ottawa, Gregoire would need to be isolated from her own family. And there would be no nanny, no grandparent, no cook, no one to help.
Trudeau has effectively taken on single parenthood, while leading Canada’s effort to battle a once-in-a century pandemic.
“It’s an interesting challenge to run a G7 country in this situation, he’s doing it with kids running around in the background, they’re playing Lego, keeping busy. But you know it’s no different right now from what lots of other Canadians are doing, working from home right now,” said Cameron Ahmad, the Prime Minister’s communications director.
Trudeau's 11-year-old daughter Ella-Grace has become his photographer of sorts, snapping a photo of her father in his study while on a video conference with other G7 leaders. In the photo posted to Instagram, you can make out the images of six world leaders on the screen.
Trudeau has been venturing out daily -- but only as far as the foot of his front steps -- to deliver an update to Canadians on the pandemic and to take questions from the media at a safe distance.
“He’s enjoying being a dad right now and getting to spend much more time with his kids,” said Ahmad, acknowledging that Trudeau is coping as best he can, along with hundreds of millions of parents all over the world.
