Queen of the United Kingdom Elizabeth II has tested positive for COVID-19, but has only moderate symptoms and will continue to perform her duties, according to Buckingham Palace.
“The queen has today tested positive for COVID,” the Palace said. “Her Majesty is experiencing mild cold-like symptoms but expects to continue light duties at Windsor over the coming week.”
“She will continue to receive medical attention and will follow all appropriate guidelines,” the Palace said.
Charles, the heir to the throne, walked out of an event earlier this month after getting coronavirus for the second time.
According to a royal source, he only met the queen a few days before.
The queen’s health has been in the limelight since she spent a night in hospital last October for an unidentified sickness and was subsequently recommended to rest by her doctors.
