Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet is isolating alongside his wife, Nancy Déziel, after she tested positive for COVID-19. Déziel tweeted Tuesday that she first noticed her loss of smell on Monday, a common COVID-19 symptom known as anosmia. The family is isolating in their Shawinigan residence, according to a statement issued by the Bloc. Blanchet was already in isolation as were members of his caucus because one of his staff members tested positive for the disease. The party said staff and caucus members will be screened to determine how wide the virus has spread.
