“He has been displaying mild symptoms but otherwise remains in good health and has been working from home throughout the last few days as usual,” the statement read.
“It is 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.”
Charles' wife, Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, tested negative for the virus, ITV and CNN reported.
