Buckingham Palace confirmed the Queen had tested positive for COVID on Sunday. In a statement, the palace said she was experiencing “mild, coldlike symptoms”.
Roper added she was continuing to undertake “light duties” in spite of the virus.
The announcement comes ahead of a year of celebrations for the monarch, as she marks her Platinum Jubilee.
Earlier this month, Cayman hosted a special sitting of the Parliament to mark the Queen’s ascension to the throne on 6 Feb. 1952.
The jurisdiction will enjoy a four-day weekend in June, with a host of celebratory events scheduled to mark the Queen’s 70-year tenure on the throne, including an international air show and trees planted across the islands as part of a special programme called “The Queen’s Green Canopy: Plant a Tree for the Jubilee”.
