Camilla, the queen consort, has tested positive for COVID-19, according to Buckingham Palace and was forced to postpone a visit to the West Midlands on Tuesday, while the palace initially said he had contracted a “seasonal illness.”
King Charles’s wife “unfortunately canceled all her public engagements this week and sends her sincere apologies to those who were supposed to attend,” the palace said in a latest statement.
Camilla is “fully vaccinated” against COVID-19, according to the palace, while her husband stays healthy. Interestingly, the 75-year-old man previously tested positive for COVID-19 almost a year ago.
King Charles also had the virus in February last year. Each was self-isolating at the time and did not require hospitalization.
Carlos’s mother, the late Queen Elizabeth II, also tested positive for COVID-19 shortly after Carlos and Camila’s illnesses were confirmed, the palace said at the time.
The queen, who died in September aged 96, had only “mild cold-like symptoms” as a result of the virus, according to the palace.
Camilla became queen consort after the death of the queen and the coronation of Charles and s and wife is scheduled for May.
Although for many it has been forgotten, the truth is that COVID continues without giving up. Variants of this disease multiply over the months: the latest, ‘Kraken’, detected in the United States, has already begun to reach many countries in recent weeks.
Even the new variant of Omicron, the CH. 1. 1, also called Orthro (Orthrus) is set to become one of the dominant strains of COVID and replace the Kraken threat. It was detected for the first time in November in the United Kingdom and in January it already accounts for one in five cases (23.3%) in that country.
