Buckingham Palace said that Britain's Queen Elizabeth II is experiencing mild symptoms after testing positive for Covid-19. The queen received three jabs.
The 95-year-old monarch will continue with light duties at Windsor Castle over the next week.
The palace said in a statement that she will continue to receive medical attention and follow all the appropriate guidelines.
Prince Charles and his daughter-in-law are both contracted by Covid. Charles returned to work.
After the death of her father, George VI, Elizabeth became queen of the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. She was crowned on June 2, 1953.
The 16th anniversary of the marriage of Prince Charles and Camilla and the duke's funeral were four days before Elizabeth's 95th birthday.
Boris Johnson is the 14th prime minister to serve under Elizabeth since 1952.
In April 2020, the queen appeared in a video from Windsor Castle to assure her subjects that they will prevail over the coronaviruses. Hours before Johnson was hospitalized for Covid-19, the speech aired.
We have faced challenges before, but this one is different, she said.
During the Pandemic, Elizabeth and Philip stayed at Windsor Castle. With Covid restrictions easing, she made a rare public appearance at a shrine to mark the 100th anniversary of the Royal Australian Air Force.
The queen has been amazing, according to the daughter-in-law of Philip's wife.
