Speaking on the conversation, Clarke said,"We had 20-minute conservation and he recognised that is a public health emergency for those who are on the streets and in shelters. So it was good to tell him that everyone in the voluntary sector but also local and central government is doing everything that they can to try and get people off the streets and into places of safety."
He continued, "We don’t want to get 80 per cent of people off the streets only to return them when this crisis is over. The duke was very keen for us to explore ways to avoid that happening."
Prince Charles seen for the first time since his coronavirus diagnosis

He and his wife, Camilla, are currently self-isolating inside their Scottish residence, Birkhall,
