Night clubs can refuel.
All nightclubs will no longer have to limit their clientele to three quarters of their capacity, a measure in force since the summer against the Covid-19 but in fact already repealed in most of the country, announced Thursday the government.
A decree published in the Official Journal deleted a previous provision, taken in June, which imposed a gauge of 75% on a category of establishments including discotheques and concert halls welcoming the public standing.
At the time, this measure accompanied the long-awaited reopening of these establishments.
The discotheque sector was particularly affected by the health crisis because it was the only one to have been forced, for more than a year, to close without interruption, in contrast to restaurants in particular.
And in June, young people with little vaccination did not flock to these places where the health pass is mandatory.

The limitation to 75% therefore appeared to be a lesser evil for the sector.
But, anyway, it then largely became obsolete: the vast majority of departments have removed it at the local level.
The Ministry of Culture specified that this gauge was already no longer mandatory in “80%” of the departments at the beginning of November, evoking a “clarification” with the measure announced this Thursday, while the epidemic is in the recovery phase.
