Queen Elizabeth II, infected with covid-19, could be treated with antiviral drugs recently approved by health regulators to combat the virus, according to local media on Monday in the absence of official confirmation from the Royal House in this regard.
Buckingham Palace, her official London residence, has not commented on what kind of medical treatment the 95-year-old sovereign, who tested positive on Sunday, will follow.
Isabel II, who at the moment only has mild symptoms similar to those of a cold, according to a royal spokesman indicated yesterday, has stated that she plans to continue carrying out light tasks during this week, such as attending several hearings and telephone meetings that she had scheduled.
Apparently, the queen has only canceled one of the events (in person) planned for the next few days.
According to the Daily Telegraph, Buckingham Palace staff will continue to take a “sensible” approach to keeping the sovereign safe.
Close sources quoted by the newspaper assure that despite the fact that the palace continues to apply precautionary measures, such as a regimen of daily covid-19 tests for the queen and those who are in direct contact with her, these have been relaxed in recent weeks. .
The monarch’s health will be monitored by her own medical team, led by Sir Huw Thomas, and she may have been prescribed antiviral drugs recently approved by health regulators, which are seen as a key factor in cutting the risk to vulnerable people who they need hospital treatment, according to local media.
These drugs must be taken three to five days after contracting the virus.
The sovereign’s recovery will be closely watched in anticipation of three public events that Elizabeth II “hopes to attend” next month, including a diplomatic reception at Windsor Castle next week.
Sources quoted by the Daily Mail -without revealing their identity- anticipate that the queen will attend some of the “important” events that will mark her 70 years on the British throne -Jubilee- next June, but not all.
The news of the monarch’s positive came ten days after it was announced that her son Carlos, the crown prince, had tested positive for covid-19 after having been with the queen. (I)
