THE QUEEN'S ACTIVITIES AROUND JOHNSON

It is, however, noteworthy that Queen Elizabeth conducted her weekly discussion with the Prime Minister at Buckingham palace through the phone, before leaving for her slated Easter holiday at Windsor Castle on the 19th of March.

The UK Prime Minister further confirmed that he shook hands with the Coronavirus patients when he visited.

The early holiday was termed a "sensible precaution" due to the high rise in infected officials. However, her son and heir apparent to the throne, Prince Charles, was diagnosed with the viral infection and has since gone into isolation at his home, Birkhall.
