‘God Save the Queen’: Messages Pour In After Elizabeth Catches Covid-19

The widespread support for the queen follows the anniversary earlier this month when she quietly marked 70 years on the throne, the first British sovereign to do so.

The Palace said the queen was showing mild symptoms and was expected to continue “light duties” over the coming week.

In keeping with that, the queen released a statement shortly afterward praising the British women’s curling team for their Olympic gold medal in Beijing.

“I know that your local communities and people throughout the United Kingdom will join me in sending our good wishes to you, your coaches, and the friends and family who have supported you in your great success,” she said.
