British Monarch Cancels Virtual Appearances Today

Queen Elizabeth has canceled plans to meet virtually today as she continues treatment for mild Covid-19 symptoms. Buckingham Palace announced on Sunday that the 95 year old monarch had tested positive for the virus. The Queen will continue with ‘light duties’ including reading and answering documents and letters which she receives daily. A source close with the palace said the Queen’s further engagements over the week will be decided closer to the time. Also out of the UK, Boris Johnson announced that the country plans to lift all remaining Covid-19 restrictions in England beginning on Thursday.
