In message issued by his Clarence House office, he notes:

"In United Kingdom, as elsewhere, Sikhs are playing a vital role on frontline of this crisis, wher in hospitals or or key roles or through remarkable work that is being done by gurdwaras to support local communities and most vulnerable. In all this, it seems to me, Sikhs so marvellously embody values on which Guru Nanak founded your religion, over five centuries ago: hard work, respect, and selfless service to those less fortunate than yourselves. He said that both he and his wife, Camilla Duchess of Cornwall, are grateful for all Sikh community's "outstanding efforts".

"At same time, I know that many of you are suffering personally from cruel effects of this pernicious virus, or tragically have lost those you love. I can only say that my heart goes out to you under such very difficult circumstances," he said.
