查尔斯王子冠状病毒检测呈阳性，但“健康状态良好”
克拉伦斯府方面宣布，威尔士亲王的冠状病毒检测呈阳性。
发言人称，现年71岁的查尔斯王子虽然目前为轻度症状，“但或将保持健康”，现年72岁的康沃尔公爵夫人经过检测，未携带病毒。
查尔斯和卡米拉现在在巴尔莫勒尔进行隔离。
白金汉宫方面称，女王最后一次见她儿子是3月12日，但查尔斯王子当时身体状况良好。
白金汉宫方面补充，爱丁堡公爵未出席那次会议，女王现在“已遵医嘱行事”。
克拉伦斯府方面声明：“根据政府和医疗建议，王子和公爵夫人现在正在苏格兰居家隔离。
“检测是由阿伯丁郡的NHS（英国国家卫生局）进行的，所有检测均符合标准。
“由于查尔斯王子最近几周公开活动较多，因此无法确定王子因为跟哪个人接触而感染病毒。”
公爵夫妇于周日到达苏格兰。查尔斯王子在周末出现轻微症状，周一在阿伯丁郡接受了NHS（英国国家卫生局）的检测。
周二晚上检测结果表明对病毒呈阳性反应。
查尔斯目前仍在工作，能下地活动，精神状态良好。
这位现年71岁的王位继承人于3月12日与女王短暂会面。三天前，在联邦日服务期间，母子接触时间更长。
再次申明，女王身体健康。女王上周与平时再诺福克郡桑德灵汉姆住的爱丁堡公爵一起移居温莎。
鉴于他们一位是93岁高龄，一位是98岁高龄，将会对其进行特别护理，以免受病毒危害。
查尔斯王子和卡米拉将按照政府的建议，进行分别隔离。隔离房间虽然不是特别大，但肯定足够提供一个人隔离时的活动空间。
有一小部分工作人员会陪伴查尔斯夫妇左右-预计查尔斯王子会在身体彻底恢复前在苏格兰隔离数周。
查尔斯王子最后一次公开露面是在3月12日，即王子最后一次与女王会面当日，当天王子参加了一次旨在援助澳大利亚丛林大火救济和恢复工作的晚宴。
然而，查尔斯过去几天也一直在家工作，并且与海格罗夫（Highgrove）和康沃尔郡公国（Cornwall）的几个人进行了多次私人会议，所有参会人员均知晓王子的身体情况。
现在，许多伯克霍尔（王子巴尔莫勒尔庄园的住所）的家庭工作人员正在居家隔离。
白金汉宫方面消息称，查尔斯王子已经与女王，以及自己儿子们（剑桥公爵和苏塞克斯公爵）进行了交谈，精神状态良好。
