As of Wednesday, there were at least 93,400 cases of coronavirus, and 3,190 deaths from coronavirus, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University. The entire world is grappling with the fallout, including the Royal Family and Hollywood, both of which often seem so above the fray.
ROYALTY
Queen Elizabeth II was photographed wearing gloves at one recent investiture ceremony on Tuesday, prompting speculation that it was due to coronavirus. While she often wears gloves, she typically takes them off when awarding honors, observers note.
On Wednesday however, the Queen was photographed greeting guests and shaking hands at Buckingham Palace without gloves. The Queen, as a 93-year-old, is considered to be more vulnerable to coronavirus, which is transmitted via secretions like cough droplets. Touching an infected person and then touching your eyes, nose or mouth can also transmit the virus.
