Mask mandatory, ban on gatherings of more than ten people ... in front of the increase in Covid cases, the prefect of Var sees


In the naturist paradise, Le Levant (Var), we look shabby.

This small island off Hyères-Les-Palmiers saw its cases of Covid multiply this week after a festival held in the countryside earlier this month.

Results: 46 people tested positive, many of whom are victims of the Delta variant.

The prefect of Var has therefore deployed the great means by decree: compulsory masks everywhere on the island except on the beaches, and vaccination campaign this weekend.

“For us naturists, it's weird to be completely naked, in the middle of nature, and to have to wear a mask.

But if necessary… ”Coming from Reims (Marne) on vacation, Damien is fatalistic since the announcement of the measures which“ throw a cold ”on the island: ban on gatherings of more than ten people, indoor service prohibited in bars and restaurants, and a fine of 135 euros for anyone caught without a mask.

Home vaccination campaign

On the island, screenings are linked and prevention messages are posted everywhere.

Everyone fears a dizzying spread of the virus given the July attendance.

Moreover, on the boat that leads to the island, the mask is strongly recommended on board.

Compulsory on exit.

“On the trails, we see the police patrolling and stationing themselves in the village to check the wearing of masks. The Levant, it was the last refuge of freedom in the South and here it is… ”laments a retiree, follower of the“ naked life ”. This weekend, an emergency vaccination campaign "at home" is organized on the island. "It is restrictive in high season but we are doing everything to curb the spread of the epidemic," commented the prefect of Var.
