Paul was also tested for COVID-19 at the time but tests came back negative.
“But the doctor didn’t think that could be right,” said Paul.
“He said, ‘you are in the same home and eat from the same utensils.’”
So four days after his first test, on Dec. 26th, and showing no symptoms whatsoever, Godfrey voluntarily took a second test.
“That time I tested positive,” he said.
“I have had no symptoms and I am feeling fine.”
But his wife of 53-years has so far had a far different experience. Things turned problematic quickly.
“I was really worried about her,” Godfrey said.
He gives all the credit to Dr. Nathan Stall and his team for “exceptionally treating her” and getting her home.
“She is on the mend but still on oxygen,” said Godfrey.
“But she is recovering well.”
Both now in quarantine, Godfrey said they don’t have idea how they contracted it.
They have been following guidelines to restrict their interactions to family only and not to do any travelling.
Close friends of the family were aware of Gina’s health crisis but didn’t go public until Thursday when reporters start calling, asking if they had accompanied former finance minister Rod Phillips and his wife Lydia to St. Barts.
The Godfreys did not travel with the Phillips — or anybody — and have never been to St. Barts.
Those asking such questions, and leaving voicemails, can now apologize to Mr. Godfrey, who has been in Toronto the whole time, tending to his wife’s health.
In fact, they’ve remained in the city since early March.
Godfrey decided to reveal their situation to avoid inferences they were on a Christmas-time junket.
They have had other things more pressing on their minds.
Godfrey said his main focus is helping his wife get better. He also praised the medical professionals who did “an outstanding job” of treating his wife.
“We really want to thank Dr. Stall and the amazing staff at Mount Sinai for all of their great care,” said Godfrey, who also asked to wish everybody a happy new year.
