Unfortunately, another influential person in the world is now positive with the deadly Coronavirus. Prince Charles of Wales, 71 years old, is now the newly added Coronavirus positive person in the United Kingdom-- adding to the more than 8,000 cases in the country with over 400 deaths as of Wednesday, Mar. 25.

"The Prince of Wales has tested positive for coronavirus," the statement said. "He has been displaying mild symptoms but otherwise remains in good health and has been working from home throughout the last few days as usual."

The heir to the British throne has shown "mild symptoms" on Sunday after attending several gatherings and events. He was tested with the disease the next day, and the results came on a late night of Tuesday, Mar. 24.

Now, the Prince is staying in Scotland for its self-quarantine procedures, and the British officials confirmed that the next King of the United Kingdom is not feeling any symptoms anymore and "otherwise remains in good health."

Meanwhile, Prince Charles's spouse, the Duchess of Cornwall, 72 years old, tested negative from the disease. Both of them will be staying in Scotland to be monitored by health officials of the palace. 

"The Duchess of Cornwall has also been tested but does not have the virus. In accordance with government and medical advice, the Prince and the Duchess are now self-isolating at home in Scotland," said a statement.

Prince Charles might be contagious since Mar. 13

Sky News reported that Prince Charles might already be infected with the disease since Mar. 13, which was more than two weeks from now. 

A day before this, he even visited his mother, Queen Elizabeth, in the Buckingham Palace, but authorities said that the Queen is not feeling any symptoms or sickness since Prince Charles' visit. 

The Queen, the palace added, "is following all the appropriate advice with regard to her welfare." 

The Prince's last public engagements happened on Mar. 12, along with his private meetings with Highgrove and Duchy of Cornwall individuals. Aside from that, he was also present in aid of the Australian bushfire relief effort, which took place at Mansion House in London.

Earlier that day, the Prince of Wales had attended an investiture ceremony at Buckingham Palace, where he greeted recipients with a non-contact gesture due to concerns about the spread of the illness.

"The tests were carried out by the NHS in Aberdeenshire, where they met the criteria required for testing," said the statement. "It is not possible to ascertain from whom the prince caught the virus owing to the high number of engagements he carried out in his public role during recent weeks."
