If the Ministry of Health is content to “very strongly recommend” the wearing of masks in hospitals after July 31, some establishments go further.
The Assistance Publique – Hôpitaux de Paris, for example, has decided to maintain the compulsory mask indoors “for staff, patients and visitors”, she tells Le Parisien.
This decision was taken “because of the fragility of the people who are welcomed, and taking into account the high level of circulation of the virus”, develops the group.
With the end of the state of health emergency on July 31, each hospital establishment will now decide on the rules concerning the wearing of a mask within its walls, as Le Parisien explained on Tuesday.
The decision taken by the management of the AP-HP will delight many doctors and caregivers.
“The virus is still circulating a lot, even if it is decreasing.
We did not leave the hostel, and I would tend to be rather cautious and favor maintaining the mandatory mask, ”Remi Salomon, president of the establishment medical commission, told us on Tuesday.
End of the health pass
The AP-HM (in Marseille) is also moving towards maintaining the mandatory mask “for visitors, patients, and staff”.
Other establishments also provide for it, but only in certain departments, such as those welcoming the most fragile patients.
The health pass, on the other hand, will no longer be compulsory to enter the hospital, anywhere in the country.
“There will no longer be a legal basis for imposing a health or vaccination pass in France”, insists Senator Philippe Bas, rapporteur for the health bill in the Senate.
