Four days.
It took four days before the new travel certificates were available in the TousAntiCovid application.
Since Tuesday evening, it is finally possible to generate in the TousAnticovid application for smartphones the certificates put in place last weekend.
These make it possible to justify travel during the curfew between 7 p.m. and 6 a.m. as well as over a distance of more than 10 kilometers between 6 a.m. and 7 p.m. in the 16 departments confined for a third time in a year due to the pandemic. of Covid-19.
Having them available on your smartphone avoids having to print them or write them down on paper.

This rather long technical update comes after a succession of failures concerning the new travel certificates.
While the re-containment began last Saturday at 6 a.m. in the affected areas, the certificates were only posted online overnight from Friday to Saturday.
At first, only one certificate existed, whether for the curfew or the confinement.
The document was particularly complex, long and imprecise.
The delicate journey of new attestations
Quickly he raised questions and criticisms.
Faced with the situation, the Presidency of the Republic and the government decided to set up, as of Saturday, a simplified device.
In confined areas, the certificate has been removed for any exit within a radius of 10 kilometers around the home, which limits the number of times it can be used.
In addition, the document was split on Sunday.
There is now one for curfew and one for containment.
But two technical pitfalls still marked the course of these certificates.
On the one hand, we had to wait a good part of the day on Sunday before that for the confined areas was available.
On the other hand, it will therefore have taken four days until Tuesday evening before being able to use TousAntiCovid.

This update does not end a final issue, however.
The certificate for confined areas suggests that, even for a trip of less than 10 kilometers, it would be necessary to have the document with you in the following cases: shopping, driving children to school or to an extracurricular activity, legal or administrative, going to a place of worship or culture such as a library.
This Wednesday morning, the Minister of the Interior, Gerald Darmanin, however recalled that the certificate is useless for any movement of less than 10 kilometers and that a simple proof of address is sufficient in the event of control by the forces of the order.
