Copenhagen, Feb 10 (IANS) Queen Margrethe II of Denmark has tested positive for Covid-19, the Royal House has said.

In a press release, the Royal House on Wednesday added that the queen tested positive on Tuesday evening and showed "only mild symptoms".

"The Queen is now staying in Christian IX's Palace at Amalienborg in Copenhagen," it said.

The queen, who marked 50 years on the throne in January, had intended to begin a winter vacation in Norway on Wednesday. However, the positive test has now forced the cancellation of the trip.

According to Danish news agency Ritzau, the queen has received three vaccinations against the coronavirus, with the final one in late November 2021, Xinhua news agency reported.

Denmark has lifted almost all domestic restrictions against Covid-19 since February 1, 2022.
