Queen Elizabeth felt well enough to undertake two virtual audiences, just over a week after she tested positive for Covid-19 and following the cancellation of other similar events last week.

The British monarch, 95, has been fully vaccinated against coronavirus and was previously said to have been suffering mild cold-like symptoms. Despite cancelling some events, she continued with light duties after testing positive, Reuters reports.

The palace said she spoke with incoming ambassadors from Andorra and Chad. Last week, she spoke to Prime Minister Boris Johnson by telephone.
