The news that Britain’s Queen Elizabeth had tested positive for COVID-19 sparked outrage, anxiety, and well-wishes from around the country on Sunday, with lawmakers and the public wishing the 95-year-old a speedy recovery.

A few tourists gathered outside the gates of Windsor Castle, where the queen is undergoing medical treatment for minor symptoms, on a rainy and stormy day. Others expressed their support online, as message boards on the London Underground begged the monarch to “relax.”

Many people were upset by the news after the world’s longest reigning queen canceled a series of high-profile engagements and spent a night in hospital in October, sparking concerns about her health.

Julie and Rupert Wills, visiting Windsor to the west of London, said they loved the queen “to bits”, with Rupert respecting her ability to just “quietly get on with” things. Sanil Solanki, 43, described her as the nation’s mother.

For 19-year-old Gerard Smith, the news had come as a shock. “Everyone loves her,” he said. “She can’t do wrong to anyone. She’s been there my whole lifetime and the lifetime of almost everyone. It’s sad to hear. Hopefully she makes it through.”

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson led the official response, saying he was sure he spoke for the nation when he wished the queen a swift recovery and a rapid return to vibrant good health.

Opposition leader Keir Starmer said: “Get well soon Ma’am.” Many other politicians simply tweeted “God Save The Queen”.

The U.S. Embassy in London sent best wishes. The chief minister of Gibraltar, Fabian Picardo, described the queen as “a rock” in reference to the British territory’s landscape.

The widespread support for the queen follows the anniversary earlier this month when she quietly marked 70 years on the throne, the first British sovereign to do so.

The Palace said the queen was showing mild symptoms and was expected to continue “light duties” over the coming week.

In keeping with that, the queen released a statement shortly afterwards praising the British women’s curling team for their Olympic gold medal in Beijing.

“I know that your local communities and people throughout the United Kingdom will join me in sending our good wishes to you, your coaches and the friends and family who have supported you in your great success,” she said.
