Queen Elizabeth II has tested positive for Covid but her symptoms are 'mild', Buckingham Palace says

Queen Elizabeth II tested positive on Sunday for Covid-19 but aides said her symptoms were "mild", as politicians wished Britain's longest-serving monarch a rapid recovery in her 70th year on the throne.

"I'm sure I speak for everyone in wishing Her Majesty The Queen a swift recovery from Covid and a rapid return to vibrant good health," Johnson tweeted, as members of his cabinet sent their own best wishes.
