Prince Albert II of Monaco has tested positive for coronavirus, according to a spokesperson for the city-state's palace on Thursday.
The status of the ruler's health "is not worrying at all," the palace added in a statement. Prince Albert was tested for Covid-19 earlier this week.

The 62-year-old is continuing to work from the office in his private apartments and remains in contact with members of his cabinet and government.
The prince is Monaco's head of state, and one of the world's wealthiest royals. He was formally invested as the country's leader in 2005.
Monaco, a country with a population of fewer than 40,000 people, had recorded nine cases of coronavirus before the monarch's diagnosis was announced.
Neighboring France has been one of the worst-affected nations in Europe, confirming more than 7,600 cases and 175 deaths.
"His Serene Highness urges the people of Monaco to respect the measures of confinement and to limit contact with others to a minimum," the palace's statement added.
"Only the strict observance of these confinement measures will make it possible to stop the spread of the coronavirus."
当地时间3月19日，摩纳哥新闻发言人称，该国元首阿尔贝二世亲王确诊感染新冠肺炎。
摩纳哥是法国南部靠近尼斯、地中海沿岸国家，面积2.02平方公里，人口37000。
阿尔贝二世亲王的确诊，使之成为全球首例国家元首感染。
所幸亲王病情并不严重，医护人员正密切关注其健康状况；亲王本人也仍在其私人宅邸继续办公，与内阁成员保持着联系。
