"The French hold in their hands the fact of living normally," said Minister of Culture Roselyne Bachelot on Saturday in Cannes about the progression of the Delta variant of Covid-19.
Asked during a press briefing on the concerns of those responsible for cultural places in the face of new health restrictions that the President of the Republic could announce on Monday, Ms. Bachelot assured that the government was not considering "the closure of places of culture »But launched« a call for responsibility and respect for the health of others ».
“We have tools that we didn't have a few months ago to keep cultural places open.
First: get vaccinated, sometimes overcome reluctance, fears or simply indifference.
Second: the health pass is easy!
», Added Ms. Bachelot on the sidelines of a CNC (National Cinema Center) conference organized during the Cannes Film Festival.
“Some are making a mountain of health passes.
This is not true.
We all have a smartphone with a vaccination certificate or a test of less than 48 hours.
The places of culture offer antigenic tests ... And then, there is respect for protective measures: frost, mask, ventilation of the rooms ... ", Ms. Bachelot said again.
