Prince Charles has been tested not only because he was showing symptoms that could be linked to COVID-19 but also because he is over 70, which means he is more at risk of contracting a more severe form of the virus than younger people. Clarence House added that it is not known who Prince Charles got the virus from. The statement said: "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."
