Similar to the United States, the United Kingdom has suffered with the Coronavirus pandemic. In fact, the severity resulted in the Queen giving a rare televised address to the people of the UK over the weekend.

"Across the Commonwealth and around the world, we have seen heart-warming stories of people coming together to help others, be it through delivering food parcels and medicines, checking on neighbors, or converting businesses to help the relief effort," she shared. "And though self-isolating may at times be hard, many people of all faiths, and of none, are discovering that it presents an opportunity to slow down, pause and reflect, in prayer or meditation."

The Queen added, "I also want to thank those of you who are staying at home, thereby helping to protect the vulnerable and sparing many families the pain already felt by those who have lost loved ones. Together we are tackling this disease, and I want to reassure you that if we remain united and resolute, then we will overcome it." 

On Tuesday morning, the Queen also paid tribute to health care workers on World Health Day.

"In testing times, we often observe that the best of the human spirit comes to the fore; the dedication to service of countless nurses, midwives and other health workers, in the these most challenging of circumstances, is an example to us all," she wrote. "My family and I send our enduring appreciation and good wishes."
