The Prime Minister wanted to send his “best wishes” to Her Majesty, 95, and claims it is a reminder that the killer virus has “not gone away.
Unveiling his “plan for living with Covid” in the Commons, the PM confirmed mandatory self-isolation will be ditched on Thursday as he wished The Queen his best.
Labour Leader Sir Keir Starmer also wisher his best, adding: “We also send our best wishes to the Queen and the whole house wishes her a speedy recovery.”
Her Majesty is experiencing “mild cold-like symptoms” but expects to carry out “light duties” this week, according to Palace officials.
There had been fears for her health after she was in direct contact with Prince Charles two days before he tested positive for coronavirus during a routine lateral flow on February 10.
Officials say she will “continue to receive medical attention” from her team of royal physicians.
The shock diagnosis comes just a fortnight after Her Majesty celebrated her Platinum Jubilee and said she wishes for Camilla to become Queen Consort when Charles is made King.
The Palace said in a statement yesterday: “Buckingham Palace confirm that The Queen has today tested positive for Covid.
“Her Majesty is experiencing mild cold-like symptoms but expects to continue light duties at Windsor over the coming week.
“She will continue to receive medical attention and will follow all the appropriate guidelines.”
