Cell phones of people present around Lyon should receive a notification around 12 p.m. this Friday.

The venue, which will host several football and rugby sevens matches, will be the scene of an “emergency situation” whose scenario has not been revealed. Similar tests were carried out in preparation for the Rugby World Cup, in Saint-Étienne in particular. The alert notification is accompanied by a particularly loud sound signal. The exercise mention will be clearly indicated and people receiving it will not have to take any specific action.
