One Friday in November 2020, in full confinement, Julie, 21, a nurse living in Joncherey (Territoire de Belfort), learned that one of her colleagues had contracted Covid-19.
The young woman then decides to go for a test in a screening center in the town of Delle, about twenty kilometers from Belfort in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté.
On her arrival, she meets Mickaël, 21, in charge of doing the test in the box of the screening center and falls in love with him, reports

“
I had cried in pain the previous time. Fortunately, when I arrived at the screening center in Belfort, there was this young man who was able to make me forget my anxiety,
”says Julie to the regional daily. With his white mask, his protective glasses, his green charlotte on his head, his transparent gloves and his blue blouse, Mickaël is difficult to identify. However, the conversation begins and it is love at first sight. This moment, which was supposed to last at most a quarter of an hour, lasts longer. “
I can tell you that we spoke for an hour before Mickaël finally took the sample. His colleague, not seeing him come out of the box, even came to check what was going on!
Julie exclaims. "
Me, I am naturally talkative
», Continues Mickaël, who works in cardiological emergencies in Colmar.
“
We talked a lot right away, before going on the same evening on social networks
”.
The two young people then decide to meet again a week later.
“
We had never been able to see each other without a mask, I hadn't even realized that he had a beard,
” smiles Julie.
Like in a fairy tale, the two lovebirds fall in love with each other and since then, the story has unfolded wonderfully.
“
In any case, we never leave each other.
Not a single day, not a single night without the other,
”she continues.
Without this PCR test, Mickaël and Julie would probably never have met.
