Prince Charles recovers from COVID-19, resumes duties

Prince Charles has recovered from the coronavirus after experiencing mild symptoms and has come out of self-isolation, though his wife Camilla remains in isolation.

In a video address, the 71-year-old heir to the throne described the experience of life under lockdown as strange, frustrating, and distressing due to the absence of family and friends.

He expressed sympathy for those who have lost loved ones and are enduring sickness, isolation, and loneliness during this anxious time.

Prince Charles lauded the National Health Service staff for their selfless devotion to duty and emphasized the need for their special consideration.

He also acknowledged the profound challenge the nation faces, affecting the livelihoods and welfare of millions, but expressed confidence that the situation will eventually end.

Official figures on Tuesday showed the number of coronavirus deaths in Britain rose by 27% to 1,789 people, with one victim being a 13-year-old boy with no apparent underlying health conditions.
