In response to the Prince of Wales contracting Covid-19, Buckingham Palace has also released a statement to insist that Queen Elizabeth II “remains in good health,” having briefly met her son Charles on the morning of March 12.
It comes after Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced stricter measures to counter the spread of the coronavirus pandemic with a nationwide lockdown on Monday evening. All but essential travel has been forbidden. The UK government has told the public to stay at home and banned groups of more than two people.
Earlier this week, Johnson warned Britons: “If you don't follow the rules, the police will have the powers to enforce.”
After passing emergency laws, the House of Commons will now vote on whether to shut down Parliament earlier than the planned Easter break on March 31. The motion is expected to pass unopposed. Prince Charles tests
