Prince Albert encourages Monaco to get Tested for COVID-19
Prince Albert II visited two COVID-19 screening centres in Monaco, which are currently testing the entire Monegasque population, residents and employees for the virus. During the visit, Prince Albert took the opportunity to get tested. The test came back positive for COVID-19 antibodies, a result he expected. Diagnosed positive for the coronavirus on 19 March, Prince Albert II developed symptoms, though they were not severe enough to warrant hospitalization.
Many Monegasques have recently tested positive without ever having symptoms of the virus. 3% of the 6,633 people who were tested last week tested positive, or 300 people.
The sovereign believes that it is essential that all residents and employees of the Principality come to centres to be tested. Not only so that everyone is personally reassured, but so that a more precise idea of the spread of the virus can be understood, which will help slow down the spread of COVID-19.
