Prince Charles has tested positive for COVID-19

In a statement released this morning, Clarence House confirmed that the Prince of Wales has tested positive for Coronavirus.

The 71 year old royal has been diagnosed with the COVID-19 virus, after displaying mild symptoms this past Sunday.

Charles remains "in good health" otherwise, and has been in self-isolation in Scotland with the Duchess of Cornwall (who tested negative for the virus). The results came through late Tuesday night, and their statement was released on Monday morning.

"In accordance with government and medical advice, the Prince and the Duchess are now self-isolating at home in Scotland," the statement says.
