An exclusive private school in Stockholm that counts Swedish royalty among its pupils closed on Thursday after a pupil tested positive for the coronavirus, the royal court said.
Attended by Princess Estelle, granddaughter of King Carl XVI Gustaf and second in line to the throne, the Campus Manilla school draws its pupils from Sweden’s wealthiest families.
“They have had a pupil at the school who has tested positive for the coronavirus, that’s the reason they closed the school,” the court’s press secretary, Johan Tegel, told Reuters.
The princess is not the pupil who tested positive, Tegel said, adding only that she “did not attend school today”.


The Stockholm region of Sweden reported 28 new confirmed cases of the coronavirus on Thursday, the local authority said, taking the total number of cases in Sweden to 88.
“Infection Control Stockholm is now compiling information on where the 28 people have been infected,” Region Stockholm said in a statement.
“So far, the compilation shows that 14 people have been infected in Italy or been in direct contact with people infected in Italy.”

On Monday, the court postponed a dinner scheduled for this week, citing coronavirus concerns.
