100 km, reopening of bars and colleges: 4 things to remember from deconfinement
TRAVEL
Guizmo: "How much can we drive in a car?" "
Whether or not you are from the same family, simply colleagues or neighbors, you can already drive together in a car. Since May 11, there has been no restriction on the number. What will change, on June 2, is that you will be able to make all journeys beyond 100 km without the need for a certificate, especially to go on vacation. Without forgetting to respect the barrier gestures, especially in taxis and VTC.
Jean: "Can I go to the funeral of a loved one who is more than 100 km from my home? "
From June 2, all trips, whatever their distance and their basis, will be authorized. Until this date, you must always have a certificate if you exceed 100 km and check the box, "travel for compelling family reasons", knowing that burials are limited to very small committees. The situation will change after June 2, as the Prime Minister explained on Thursday.
"We will therefore have to be very attentive to the physical distance and density, which correspond to the protocols that have been accepted and implemented," he said, without disclosing the number of people authorized to participate in the obsequies. Édouard Philippe also agreed that "the moment to completely release the tension on religious ceremonies or civil ceremonies has not come".
Joël: "I have to leave for a week in Spain on June 5 for a funeral, do I risk quarantine on my return? "
The rules for international travel do not change on June 2. The government hopes that European countries will agree on the movement of their nationals in the next two weeks.
In the meantime, any traveler, including French, who arrives in France from Spain is invited to carry out a "voluntary fortnight", as has been the case since Monday, May 25.

Mick: "I'm in Mayotte and I have to go to Paris in June and July. What's going to happen ? "
Mayotte and Guyana are closely monitored due to the still large circulation of the virus. But Édouard Philippe did not give any indication of a framework for travel from these departments.
On the other hand, the Prime Minister announced the maintenance of "very strict control measures" for travel to these territories. Currently, only people with compelling family or professional reasons or a health obligation can go there.
"We are still aiming for a wider opening of flights for the holidays," he promised, however. In the meantime, the government wishes to "experiment with a new form of fortnight" on the spot.
Travelers should be tested after seven days of isolation. This will lead, if it is negative, to "adapt", and therefore probably to soften, "the constraints" of this fortnight.
Anonymous: "When can we travel to Africa? "
Despite the launch of the second phase of progressive deconfinement to come on Tuesday, the external borders of Europe remain closed for the time being. But decisions are expected to be made soon for the summer.
Thursday, Christophe Castaner spoke of a possible reopening of the borders "perhaps July 1", accompanied by "specific measures" for travelers from countries subject to special attention. Note that foreign countries, for example in Africa, will no doubt in turn establish rules concerning travelers from Europe.
EVERYDAY LIFE
François: "Will people with diabetes be able to get out after June 2? "
This was already the case since the first stage of deconfinement and it will be all the more so on June 2: all outings without certification and now without distance limit are authorized in France. This applies to the entire population, except, of course, those diagnosed with Covid-19, who must respect a quarantine period.
Vulnerable people, including those with diabetes, can therefore also get out. But for their safety and health it is strongly recommended that they wear a mask and respect barrier gestures and social distancing measures.
Maryse: "Until when will masks be compulsory in shops and hairdressers? "
It is still difficult to answer this question. This measure, which aims to make masks mandatory in certain businesses in order to avoid contamination between customers and with traders, is one of the prerequisites for stemming the epidemic.
Because, even if the majority of the departments of France are now classified in green, the latter continues to persist. This mask will probably be required as long as the coronavirus is circulating. It could therefore last for weeks or even months.
Jessica: "Will the big shopping centers reopen from June 2? "
These decisions must be made by prefectural decree. For example, the Paris police headquarters has authorized the Galeries Lafayette Haussmann as well as the Italie 2 shopping center to reopen on Saturday morning in view of "the favorable development of the health situation in Paris and in the Paris conurbation". But other shopping centers, such as Le Forum des Halles, or Aéroville (Val-d'Oise), remain closed for the moment, officially until July 10.
Pauline: “I am pregnant. Will my spouse finally be able to accompany me for my ultrasound at the end of June? "

Ask your gynecologist or midwife if the presence of the father is authorized in their office, and if so, with which health protocol.
Slim: "If I'm positive for Covid-19 and have developed antibodies, can I donate my plasma to help research?" "
Yes, you can fully participate in the clinical trial, currently underway, on the transfusion of plasma from people recovered from Covid-19 to patients. The French Blood Establishment (EFS) is looking for volunteers in nine regions of France, to participate in this study called Coviplasm. All the information can be found on their site.
It is a donation that lasts 45 to 50 minutes. To do this, you must have tested positive for Covid-19 or have had symptoms suggestive of the disease. These symptoms must have disappeared for at least 14 days and you must meet the usual conditions for a blood donation.
"The removal of part of his plasma will not affect the immunity of convalescent donors: enough antibodies will continue to circulate in their bodies," says the EFS.
Sandrine: “What about the reopening of spa treatments? "
