It's a quote.

Well actually it is not.

This would be a quote:

“Some years ago I opined that London was not really an English city any more,”

Would it be paraphrasing then.
Not really an english city, or
Isnt an english city.
They both mean the same to 99.9% of people with english as a first language,

Yes, I believe paraphrasing would be a good description.

Which you would agree is used to explain the same thing in a different way. The key words being the same.

Apparently Dominic Cummings picked up the virus around a week ago. I only heard about that today.

I’d bet a lot that hasn’t been followed.

Evidently, not even our health secretary isolated for the 14 days as per WHO guidelines

Flights coming in from NY daily unscreened... it’s boggles the mind.

Biggest mistake was letting all those Italian skiing holiday makers come back without any checks, that is really what kicked off our community spreading, but we were still in the denial - ‘Italy has an old population, that’s why they are being so heavily effected’ phase at the time and the media were happy to parrot that line.

And the private schools allowed the pupils and teachers back in but sent them home to isolate a day later.

I have heard of people saying they caught it off someone back from Italy, then obviously it multiplies. Also heard of people going to northern Italy after it all kicked off, knowing they were going to isolate on return.
