The Prince of Wales has tested positive for Covid-19 and is now self-isolating, Clarence House has said on Twitter.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Prince Charles\u2019s positive result was announced moments before he was due to arrive at an engagement in Winchester.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

On Wednesday, he and his wife the Duchess of Cornwall met people at a reception in the British Museum.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>

Camilla tested negative for coronavirus on Thursday, Clarence House said. This is the second time Charles has contracted Covid.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

The 73-year-old heir to the throne last caught the virus in March 2020 when he reported only mild symptoms.<\/p>\n

Clarence House confirmed that Prince Charles was triple vaccinated, but would not give any detail on whether he was experiencing coronavirus symptoms this time.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

It is also yet to confirm whether Charles has seen the Queen recently. But it said Camilla had received a negative result in a routine test earlier.<\/p>\n

The evening before he tested positive, Charles and Camilla were at a reception in the British Museum to celebrate the work of the British Asian Trust (BAT).<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Guests included Chancellor Rishi Sunak, Home Secretary Priti Patel and former Liverpool footballer Ian Rush.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

In England, contacts of positive Covid cases who are fully vaccinated should take lateral flow tests for seven days. They do not have to self-isolate unless they test positive.<\/p>\n

Charles must self-isolate for 10 full days, but he could be allowed to end this early if he tests negative on day five and day six.<\/p>\n

Prime Minister Boris Johnson has signalled that these rules could be lifted within weeks.<\/p>\n

Charles had been due to unveil a statue of Licoricia of Winchester, a medieval Jewish businesswoman who was a money lender and single parent in the Hampshire city.<\/p>\n

Clarence House said His Royal Highness was \u201cdeeply disappointed not to be able to attend\u2026 and will look to reschedule his visit as soon as possible\u201d.<\/p>\n

The announcement of Charles\u2019s positive test was made just after midday, about 12 minutes before he was due to arrive.<\/p>\n

More than 1,000 people were gathered behind barriers in the city\u2019s Jewry Street, waiting to see the prince.<\/p>\n
