    Ottawa -

    Michael Kovrig鈥檚 wife, Vina Nadjibulla, doesn鈥檛 believe he has been inoculated against COVID-19.

    Nadjibulla told 麻豆传媒 Channel鈥檚 Power Play on Friday that Kovrig is able to get news from home through 30-minute virtual consular visits every month and through letters. She said the virtual visits are part of COVID-19 protocols but she doesn鈥檛 believe he has been vaccinated.

    鈥淗e has a general idea that we鈥檝e been living through a pandemic,鈥 Nadjibulla told Joyce Napier.

    Kovrig and Michael Spavor were detained in China in December 2018.

    Their detentions were widely viewed as retaliation for Canada鈥檚 arrest of Huawei Technologies chief Financial officer Meng Wanzhou at the request of the U.S. China has denied this to be the reason.
