THE Queen has admitted Covid left her exhausted, in a candid chat with NHS staff and patients.

The 95-year-old spoke via video link as she opened a care unit built to treat sufferers.

She tested positive in February but carried on performing duties in isolation from Windsor Castle.

But yesterday, the Queen spoke about her condition during a video call with the Royal London Hospital to mark the opening of its Queen Elizabeth Unit.

Talking to former Covid patient Asef Hussain, and his wife Shamina, the Queen said: “It does leave one very tired and exhausted, doesn't it? This horrible pandemic. It's not a nice result.” a Asef was the third member of his family to be admitted to hospital with Covid in December 2020.
