"I can assure you, we will keep these restrictions under constant review. We will look again in three weeks, and relax them if the evidence shows we are able to."
That's how, on 23 March, Prime Minister Boris Johnson presented the possible timetable for the limits the UK government was placing on people's daily lives during the coronavirus outbreak.
The commitment was written into the emergency laws that were rushed through Parliament before it shut up shop.
That formalised the promise, saying that the health secretary had to "review the need for restrictions and requirements" every 21 days, and it has to happen the first time by 16 April.
Why, then, did the foreign secretary say on Tuesday something that sounded rather different? There are three things going on here.
The number of people who have died with coronavirus in UK hospitals has risen to 7,097 - a record increase of 938 in a day.
Experts warn against over-interpreting daily figures, since spikes or dips may in part reflect bottlenecks in the reporting system, rather than real changes in the trend.

These hospitals will be addition to the four where work has already been completed or is under way - including the Nightingale Hospital in East London and those in Birmingham and Glasgow.
Overall there are plans to build up to 17 temporary hospitals if required.

Simulated ward settings are being used as some NHS Grampian workers are "upskilled" so they can be redeployed to combat coronavirus.
The Robert Gordon University training in Aberdeen aims to provide essential nursing skills to a range of health professionals including physiotherapists, occupational therapists and dieticians.

Skill stations include basic life support, patient hygiene and bed making. It is expected about 180 staff will have completed the one-day course by the end of this week.

Air pollution levels in the UK have dropped significantly in the two weeks since the country went into lockdown to stop the spread of coronavirus.
Some cities have seen nitrogen dioxide (NO2) levels fall by up to 60% on the same period last year, analysis shows.
N02, released from car exhausts, is a serious air pollutant and also indirectly contributes to the warming of the planet.
Hope Street (Kerbside) in Glasgow and Nicolson Street in Edinburgh are Scotland's two most polluted streets - and both have seen dramatic drops in NO2

The Scottish Parliament is to host a special Q&A with the first minister on Thursday.
Presiding Officer Ken Macintosh has written to MSPs, saying testing has been done to allow party leaders to reach Nicola Sturgeon remotely.
If the experiment proceeds smoothly, there is scope to expand and allow questions to come from all MSPs in the following weeks.
The Presiding Officer wrote: "Like other legislatures, colleagues here have been very busy in recent weeks examining and testing a range of options for virtual working and I am pleased to say that the progress they are making is very encouraging indeed.
"In the first instance, the Parliamentary Bureau is exploring holding a leaders' virtual question time where party leaders can question the First Minister."
The session is expected to take place from 12:30 tomorrow and last 40 minutes.

Bruce MacGregor of Blazin’ Fiddles has been showing up to 6,000 viewers a day how to play traditional songs from his home in Inverness.
The 49-year-old hopes to build up a body of music so that people can then join in with sessions in bars across the country once the lockdown is lifted.
Live at Five is being streamed through the MacGregor's Bars Facebook page for about an hour from 17:00, seven days a week.
He said: “The Irish do traditional music sessions so well because they have been doing it for so many years that most people know the tunes and therefore it’s easier for them to join in when they turn up at a session."
He co-hosts the program with Anna Massie who is in the Black Isle.

Image source, SNSWill clubs vote to promote Championship leaders Dundee United?
SPFL clubs will vote on whether the Scottish Championship, League One and League Two seasons should be ended - but a decision over the outcome of the Premiership has been delayed.
The top flight will remain postponed "to give the best possible opportunity" for it to finish, say the league body.
But it will also be decided on points won per match "if the SPFL board determines" the remaining games cannot be played.
A 75% vote in favour is needed, with 17:00 BST on Friday the deadline.
"The quicker we reach a final position the better, but there is no doubt this is the most complicated and challenging situation our game has faced in living memory," said SPFL chief executive Neil Doncaster.

Calum Wishart, a 25 year old from Paisley, was hospitalised after suffering from coronavirus symptoms. He told Kaye Adams he underestimated what the impact of coronavirus would be on him.
He said: "It started as just a little bit of a fever, felt a little bit hot, but I didn't really think anything of it."
"Over the next few days, other things started to come in, like vomiting, diarrhoea, not really being able to eat and stuff like that."
"My breathing got affected and my breathing got really bad. At that point the paramedics were called. They came out, took me to hospital where they did the test and it was confirmed at that point it was coronavirus.
"The next couple of days I was kind of on and off of oxygen and different medication to try and keep my fever down."
Calum says the virus was "so much worse than I anticipated" and said he "strips everything away from you".
Now two weeks on from the first symptoms, Calum says he is feeling better though he still cannot take big breaths and probably would not be able to do any strenuous exercise.
First Minister Nicola Scotland confirmed there have been 366 deaths from presumed or confirmed coronavirus in Scotland.
The new, higher figure comes in part from the National Records of Scotland which has today published information on all deaths registered which refer to Covid-19 on the death certificate.
The NRS said, as of Sunday 5 April, 354 deaths have been recorded – and Ms Sturgeon says the extra 12 on top of this is due to the time lag.
