According to the statement, the Head of State continues to work from his private apartments, while he is “in constant communication with the member of the cabinet, the government and his collaborators.”
The 62-year-old Sovereign Prince is closely followed by his doctor and specialists from the Princess Grace Hospital Center (CHPG).
There are “no concerns” for his health, the statement reads.
