The info not to be missed
Perhaps in part lightened… But in an extended framework at the national level?
A bill to extend the health pass "is being prepared and will be presented on October 13 in the Council of Ministers", announced today the entourage of Prime Minister Jean Castex. Announcing such an approach may seem paradoxical, just a few days after the statements of Emmanuel Macron and Olivier Véran on a possible easing of restrictions (and in particular of the health pass) in the departments where the epidemic is less strong. But the two are not necessarily contradictory, since the pass could still be lifted in places. In the current state, having to present this sesame to go to the restaurant, to the cinema, or to take the train, is planned until November 15 included everywhere in France.
