Britain's Queen Elizabeth II spoke with UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Wednesday, a Buckingham Palace spokesperson said, despite the monarch suffering mild symptoms after her positive Covid-19 diagnosis.
Johnson's visit was supposed to be in person but was canceled due to current government guidelines, a royal source told CNN.
