This Sunday, February 20, Buckingham Palace has reported that Queen Elizabeth II has tested positive for COVID. The British monarch is presumed to have contracted the disease by being in contact with her son, Prince Charles, two days before he tested positive for the virus.
The news caused alarm in the British people, especially since in recent weeks the health of the 95-year-old queen has been a bit weak.

How is Queen Elizabeth’s health after testing positive for COVID?
The longest-lived monarch in history, she is in good health, with mild symptoms of the disease. This was confirmed by the Palace after the news of his contagion was announced.
“It presents ‘mild’ symptoms comparable to those of a cold,” the official sources said. The Queen “will continue to receive medical care and follow all appropriate guidelines,” the statement released by the royal household said.
On 16 February the Queen had returned to her official duties and held a meeting at Windsor Castle with the incoming and outgoing Secretaries of the Defence Service, Major General Eldon Milla and Rear Admiral James Macleod respectively.

The queen has all three doses of the COVID-19 vaccine so it is expected that the contagion will pass without complications, although she will also be under surveillance due to her advanced age.
Elizabeth II joins the list of royals who have tested positive in recent days, first Charles, then Camilla, then it was King Felipe of Spain and now she.
