Exposed To COVID-19, Kate Middleton Is Asymptomatic And Is In Self-isolation

JAKARTA - The United Kingdom has announced that Prince William's wife, Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton, is self-isolating after being exposed to COVID-19 from someone who tested positive for the infection.

"Last week the Duchess of Cambridge came into contact with someone who later tested positive for COVID-19", said a Kensington Palace spokesman, citing Reuters Monday, July 5.

"His Majesty is not experiencing any symptoms, but is following all relevant government guidelines and is self-isolating at home", the announcement continued.

Kate, a wife of Queen Elizabeth II's grandson Prince William, attended several events last week, most notably the Wimbledon Tennis Championships on Friday.

Kate is due to attend an event to celebrate the 73rd anniversary of the UK's National Health Service on Monday with William, who is not required to self-isolate. However, this agenda was canceled.

Prince William himself contracted COVID-19 in April last year, at about the same time as his father, heir to the throne Prince Charles, with media reports saying he had caught the virus very badly.
