“The Sovereign Prince is declared cured and in good health,” said the Palace. “He will soon join His family and continue to observe the period of confinement while remaining in close contact with His government and His close collaborators.”
Prince Albert, aged 62, tested positive on 19th March, becoming the Principality’s 11th confirmed case of Covid-19.
