Prince Charles previously tested positive for COVID-19 in March 2020, and Clarence House said he had mild symptoms but was otherwise "in good health." Clarence House added at the time that it was "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."
