The second child of Princess Grace and Prince Rainier of Monaco earlier spoke to Monaco’s residents urging them to be on the alert and avoid public places to deter the sweeping infection raging across neighbouring states.

The 62-year-old son of Princess Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier of
Monaco is the first known head of state to have contracted the virus, as

The statement comes days after the prince announced containment measures for the principality, including a sweeping ban on mass gatherings.
“The way out of this health crisis will depend on your ability to comply with the measures applied”, he addressed Monaco’s residents, amid the shutdown of all public places like cafes, offices, and most stores in the footsteps of France, Spain, and Italy.
Monaco’s Grand Prix will also be postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Italy has become the new epicentre of the pandemic with 3,405 having died of coronavirus-related diagnoses, overtaking China’s death toll. Overall 88,441 people are registered to have recovered around the world.
