OSLO (Reuters) -Norway’s King Harald has tested positive for COVID-19, the royal palace said in a statement on Tuesday.

“His majesty had today been diagnosed with corona. The king has light symptoms and will be on sick leave in the coming days,” the palace said.
Crown Prince Haakon will temporarily assume the king’s duties.
