The king and queen of Sweden both tested positive for Covid-19, the Swedish Royal Court announced on Tuesday.
The royal couple, King Carl XVI Gustaf, 75, and Queen Silvia, 78, tested positive on Monday evening, the court affirmed in a statement.
Both vaccinated with three jabs, they had "mild symptoms" and were "feeling well under the circumstances", the court said, adding that they were isolating at home.
The Public Health Agency data showed that the country hit an all-time high of 11,507 Covid-19 cases in a day on December 30, topping the previous record of 11,376 from December 2020.
Daily case rates have since dropped slightly to hover around 10,000.
Moreover, other members of Sweden's royal family have already contracted the novel coronavirus.
In March 2021, Sweden's Crown Princess Victoria and her husband Prince Daniel tested positive, and Prince Carl Philip and his wife Princess Sofia tested postive in the fall of 2020.
