UK’s Prince Charles tests positive for COVID-19  second time

Britain’s Prince Charles has tested positive for COVID-19, his office said on Thursday.

This is the second time that the heir to the British throne has contracted the disease.

“This morning, the Prince of Wales has tested positive for COVID-19 and is now self-isolating,” Clarence House said, adding that he had cancelled his planned engagements.

Charles, 73, had tested positive in March 2020 and later said he had suffered only mild symptoms.

He had spent seven days in self-isolation at his Birkhall home in Scotland before resuming his duties.

On Wednesday, he attended a reception for the British Asian Trust where other guests in attendance included Finance Minister, Rishi Sunak and Health Minister, Sajid Javid.
