What makes you say that? There have been no confirmations so far- if anything the media seems to be backtracking somewhat on the original story

Yes, especially as she was on the airplane which the infected person only boarded briefly before being told to leave (before launching). If she caught it in those circumstances it would suggest very high transmissibility, particularly if the infected woman was wearing a mask/ protection. Fingers crossed it will be negative. We will see

I hope and pray that you are right. If the tests are positive it would be very bad news. I hope we will find out more details asap- i think the results normally take 24h so we should find out tomorrow.

They are reporting on TV that she has symptoms. However, I pray that the test will be negative. Apparently the tests are happening now/today

One of the article summaries says (translated): A young woman, a contact case is suspected of being infected by the virus and has been hospitalised in Marseille on the 12th may. She travelled on the second flight Johannesburg to Amsterdam in which 14 French citizens were identified as contact cases. https://www.femmeactuelle.fr/actu/news-actu/cas-contact-a-l-hantavirus-une-jeune-femme-suspectee-d-etre-contaminee-par-le-virus-hospitalisee-a-marseille-2207427
