Prince Charles has reportedly recovered from the coronavirus, and is out of self-isolation, according to the BBC.

The 71-year-old, who was in the at-risk group due to his age, was diagnosed with COVID-19 last week, and was said to have been presenting mild symptoms.

This was the full statement from Clarence House, detailing Charles' diagnosis, as reported by the Evening Standard:

"The Prince of Wales has tested positive for coronavirus. 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 Duchess of Cornwall has also been tested but does not have the virus. In accordance with government and medical advice, the Prince and the Duchess are now self-isolating at home in Scotland. The tests were carried out by the NHS in Aberdeenshire where they met the criteria required for testing.

"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."
