The Gironde department (33) is innovating with “a bracelet” that can be used as a health pass.
One way to streamline controls in bars and restaurants.
In total, 20,000 bracelets will be made available to establishments in the most popular tourist spots in the Gironde, particularly in Bordeaux, in the Arcachon basin and in Saint-Emilion, according to the UMIH (Union des métiers et des hospitality industry) departmental, which has received the approval of the authorities.

The idea of this test operation was "worked with the Prefecture to get it right," says Martin Guespereau, delegated prefect for defense and security. “The principle: the client, probably a regular at the establishment, volunteers to present the operator with proof of his complete vaccination schedule as well as his identity. From then on, he will receive an irremovable bracelet as a sesame, allowing him to access the establishment without being checked again ”, details the UMIH.
