Mid-March, there will no longer be a need for a mask or a vaccination pass to go to the cinema, restaurant or bar.
This was announced, this Thursday noon, the Prime Minister.
Guest of the 1 p.m. news from TF1, Jean Castex has actually revealed that from March 14, this measure which came into force on January 24 (in June 2021 for the health pass) will be lifted.
“The conditions are met”, justified Jean Castex.

“We are going to suspend the vaccination pass wherever it applies today” from March 14, explained the Prime Minister.
The vaccination obligation remains
“The health pass, in health establishments, retirement homes and establishments welcoming people with disabilities, remains in force”, however added Jean Castex.
The vaccination obligation for caregivers remains.
Last month, Olivier Véran had already said he was considering lifting the vaccination pass in mid-March, but he had set the condition that the number of patients in intensive care be between "between 1,000 and 2,000 patients".
The executive seems to have decided to ignore it: just over 2,300 patients are currently in critical care.
Other conditions then set by the Minister of Health: a reproduction rate of the virus below 1 and an incidence rate below 500. If the first is well confirmed at the present time, the incidence rate is today 585 cases per 100,000 inhabitants today.
