You can tell that the government realises that basic Joe blogs is concerned.

Memories of COVID have spread very quickly, of case contacts.

It is still there.

Essentially, they keep pushing this message that this is not COVID.

Yes, it is a rare and often deadly respiratory disease, and it's being treated with the same level of caution, but that really is still not managing to dampen it all down.

And of course, in the last couple of hours, we've heard more about this one French national who was repatriated on that flight.

She's in ICU.

her condition worsened considerably during that flight now the reason they're taking this seriously is they say usually it takes a long time for the symptoms to develop sometimes three to four days they said that this particular woman it happened very suddenly so that's why they're taking it very seriously those five nationals will remain in a specialized hospital north of paris for 15 days

The government has put in place new laws or decrees that mean that they can keep people there for up to 42 days.

So that's kind of what they're doing.

They are sort of hoping that everything is under control, that by not letting these people out away from those specialized hospital wards for that period of time and that there will be no more cases, that will calm everyone down.

It was a shadow of what it used to be.

So he talked about how it was heading to an end.

But then again, he also said he would meet Zelensky, the Ukrainian president, once terms of a peace agreement were settled.

Now, what does that mean?

What peace agreement?

How settled will it have to be?
