Buckingham Palace Didn’t Announce Queen Elizabeth Tested Positive for Covid-19

Verify-Sy Platform haven’t found the news on Buckingham Palace’s official website. Also, British media haven’t reported such news.

"The Queen remains in good health. The Queen last saw the (prime minister) on the 11th March and is following all the appropriate advice with regards to her welfare," Buckingham Palace said in a statement Friday reported by several news sites including CNN. The palace declined to comment on whether the queen, 93, and Prince Philip, 98, have been tested for coronavirus, according to USA Today.

On Mar. 27, 2020, the UK government announced Prime Minister Boris Johnson has tested positive for coronavirus and is self-isolating in Downing Street.
