Jump into the arms of your bar neighbor, yell at full postilions, exchange beer bottoms ... so many gestures of joy incompatible with the final of this Sunday evening, placed under the particular sign of the coronavirus.
"There will be expressions of joy" in the event of victory in the Champions League, admitted the Minister of the Interior Gerald Darmanin, who came to inspect the device planned at the Paris police headquarters. Before warning: "They just have to be compatible with public safety" and with the measures linked to the Covid-19 pandemic. So, to enjoy the PSG-Bayern match in complete safety, Le Parisien reminds you of the instructions in force and the recommendations of doctors.
Parade on foot and masked on the Champs-Élysées
In the event of a Parisian victory at the end of the first Champions League final in its half-century of history, the authorities are preparing. They expect to see a flood of supporters at the end of the match which will be whistled around 11 p.m. if there is no overtime. A security device worthy of a New Year's Eve is planned around the Parc des Princes and on the Champs-Élysées.
The avenue will be closed to traffic and reserved for pedestrians from the start of the match and after the match. From 9 pm, there will be "no more traffic so that people can fill the space while respecting the rules of social distancing", warned the prefect of police Didier Lallement. “Checkpoints” will be set up “so that vehicles do not mix with the crowd,” said the prefect of police. 17 metro stations will also be closed in this sector of the capital.

A historic meeting, an exceptional measure: the perimeter of the wearing of the compulsory mask will be extended well beyond the main artery of the Champs-Élysées, as was the case until now. “Prevention points” will also be set up. 2000 masks could be distributed to any stunned while a "systematic verbalization" will be applied in the event of non-compliance with the instructions, insisted the Minister of the Interior.
"Two hours after the match": end of the party
This health challenge is coupled with a security challenge. If the gatherings of jubilation in the event of success are authorized, the party until the end of the night will be, it, to forget. "Two hours after the match," said Gerald Darmanin, any gathering will be "totally prohibited and the police and gendarmes will evacuate people". 3000 police officers and gendarmes will be mobilized, in particular for the "security" of "shops and establishments" of the Champs, indicated the prefect of police of Paris.
On the Parc des Princes side, the broadcast of the match, which will be played behind closed doors in Lisbon, is limited to a target of 5,000 privileged. The day after the meeting, Monday evening, "there will also be a gathering of supporters limited to 5000" participants, "if all goes well," added the police chief.
Closed places: "The distance between people is not enough"
In closed places, such as restaurants and drinking establishments, wearing a mask is compulsory (except when you are seated at the table), on pain of a fine. In mid-August, the High Council of Public Health (HCSP) also recalled that must "be associated" with the wearing of the mask "the other barrier measures of physical distancing, hand hygiene, cleaning and disinfection of surfaces and ventilation. Locals ". Distance rules between tables or between customers at the counter are also in effect.
And if you watch the game outdoors, in front of a giant screen for example, know that the HCSP also recommends wearing a mask "in the event of a gathering with a high density of people outdoors in order to limit the emission of respiratory particles".

VIDEO: PSG-Bayern: “3000 police and gendarmes will be deployed in Paris”, announces Gérald Darmanin
"We know that in closed places, the distance between people is not enough" had underlined Anne-Claude Crémieux, infectious disease specialist at Saint-Louis hospital, in Paris (10th district), with Le Parisien, last Monday. And to specify: "The virus can remain in suspension in aerosol and diffuse at greater distances". So, between two sips, it is better not to forget to put the piece of cloth back in place.
All these precautions obviously apply at home if you receive guests. So forget large receptions to respect social distancing, do not hesitate to ventilate as much as possible and avoid the bowls of peanuts in which each guest plunges his hand.
