Culture Minister Franck Riester's announcement this Sunday is very good news for theaters that are opening new doors.


Cinema and performance halls can now go beyond the half-gauge recommended because of the coronavirus, but spectators will always be separated by a seat if they do not belong to the same group, announced this Sunday the Minister of Culture Franck Riester.

"There was a defense council on Friday which went a little further than what we imagined in terms of the organization of cinemas as of shows, that is to say that there is more limitation of 50% of gauge, "says the minister on Europe 1.

"We can sit together when we are in the same social group, that is to say if we are friends and we come to the cinema or the theater together," he adds.

"On the other hand, we leave a gap seat if we do not know the people sitting next to it and we can remove the mask once we are seated. We wear the mask to get to our place because obviously we can meet people, ”says Franck Riester.

"Perhaps going even further in deconfinement"

Hit hard by the coronavirus crisis, with losses exceeding two billion euros, the live performance in France claims "a total deconfinement and without distancing", alerting to a social sinking if there is no real recovery.

Producers and artists also denounce a policy of double standards, distancing is no longer applied for example in trains and planes. Asked about this question, Franck Riester said that the government was working towards a solution by September.

"I understand this reaction," he says. However, "there are ventilation devices in TGVs and in planes that make it possible to renew the air much faster than in confined spaces and this is one of the reasons why there is a difference", explains he.

"The President of the Republic asked us to work in the coming days so that by July 10, we can make a decision for the start of the September school year and perhaps go even further in deconfinement and lift the distance a seat between social groups, "added the Minister.
