Queen Elizabeth has tested positive to the new Coronavirus COVID-19, the Royal Palace confirmed.
Buckingham Palace revealed the Queen Elizabeth held a face-to-face with UK prime minister Mr Johnson on March 11 who tested positive to Coronavirus recently.
The Palace added that her health remains good and stable though she has shown mild symptoms of the novel coronavirus.
In a brief statement, the palace said,
“HMQ has also tested positive and is currently self-isolating at Windsor Castle. The Queen came into contact with the PM on the 11th March and is following all the appropriate advice with regards to her welfare”.
“We will be sharing constant updates of the Queen’s welfare with the public in good fate. That will be all for now.”
On Wednesday, it was announced that Prince Charles, the heir to the British throne, had tested positive for the coronavirus after showing mild symptoms. His office said that he was self-isolating at a royal estate in Scotland.
The Prince of Wales, who last met the Queen on March 12, continues to work at his desk in his Scottish residence, Birkhall, as he is only suffering from mild symptoms.
The Queen, who left Buckingham Palace on March 19, looks set to spend the next few weeks of self-isolation at Windsor Castle with Prince Philip as she recovers from the virus.
