Camilla, the 72-year-old wife of Prince Charles, is allowed according to British media leave the home isolation. The duchess, who went into isolation after her husband became infected with the virus, tested negative for the coronavirus.
Camilla spent two weeks in isolation.
Exactly a week ago it was announced that Charles is recovering from the virus and was allowed to go out of isolation. Camilla, who previously tested negative for the virus, had to remain in isolation for another week because of the risks. In the United Kingdom, family members of infected persons have to be quarantined for two weeks.
Charles and Camilla stayed at their home in Scotland during this period. Because they showed symptoms of COVID-19, the National Health Service (NHS) decided to test them. Because Charles had many different appointments in March, it is impossible to trace where he contracted the virus.

The coronavirus in short
- The coronavirus mainly spreads from person to person via sneezing and cough drops. The chance of becoming infected through surfaces such as door handles is small. This chance decreases if you wash your hands often.
- You can considerably reduce the chance of spreading by keeping at least 1.5 meters away from others.
- The corona measures have resulted in an infected person infecting less than one other person on average. Previously, this so-called reproduction number was between two and three.
- The vast majority of patients have mild (flu-like) complaints.
- Almost all deaths involve the elderly or other vulnerable persons, such as heart, lung or diabetes patients. If everyone complies with the measures, this reduces their risks.
- Read here what precautions you should take.
