Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, speaking outside his residence while in self-isolation after his wife tested positive for the virus, said “enough is enough — go home and stay home”.

Trudeau said staying at home is a duty and the government will enforce it if necessary, reported AP.

Says images of people out enjoying the sunshine in large groups is “extremely concerning”.

Trudeau said those who are not doing their part are putting at risk everyone else including the eventual recovery of the economy and the well being of millions of Canadians.
