Prince Charles Tests Positive for COVID-19
The first-born son of Queen Elizabeth and the successor to the British throne, Prince Charles, 71 years of age has been diagnosed positive for the coronavirus. The NHS in Aberdeenshire performed the assessments in which they met the evaluation requirements.
"The Prince of Wales has tested positive for Coronavirus," according to a statement made by Clarence House. "He has been displaying mild symptoms but otherwise remains in good health and has been working from home throughout the last few days as usual," he added.
On Monday, after having traveled to Scotland privately a day early from his home in Highgrove, Glos, the Prince started to display signs and symptoms of the coronavirus effects.
Clarence House, on the other hand, claimed that the Duchess of Cornwall has also been evaluated, but has not contracted the virus. The Prince and his wife, Camilla, are self-isolating in their homes at Balmoral Estate in Scotland, in compliance with the government and medical advice. Six additional employees are also being isolated with them.
At the Prince's last community engagement, Buckingham Palace have said that the Queen last met her son on the day of 12 March and that the Queen remained well. Precautionary measures were taken to guarantee that the queen has not been compromised, with the monarch transferring a week sooner than expected before the time of Easter, from Buckingham Palace to Windsor Castle and residing there indefinitely. Prince Philip, who had already suffered health problems in the previous years and is particularly susceptible to COVID-19, has also started to remain in Windsor together with the Queen.
