"Starting from Monday 1 August,
health measures at the borders
are
revoked
for
travel
from France and to
France
. We continue to fight against Covid-19 with responsibility: the
mask
is
strongly recommended
in public transport": he writes it in a tweet the French Minister of Transport,
Clément Beaune
.
On July 26, the Paris Parliament approved with a final vote in the Senate the health bill that provided for the revocation of the
exceptional
anti
-Covid measures
from 1st August.
However, the text definitively adopted provides for the possibility of a possible reactivation of the mandatory border tests in case of need.
Meanwhile, a case of
avian flu has
been reported , discovered in
Feuillères
, in the north of France, at a turkey farm.
The discovery, reports the prefecture of the area, has forced the killing of 8,000 birds present on the spot.
In particular, the French authorities point out, a "first outbreak of highly pathogenic avian flu" was confirmed on Saturday in this herd in the Somme department, less than 100 kilometers from the Belgian border.
To avoid any risk of spreading the virus to other farms, "regulated areas of protection and surveillance have been erected in a perimeter of 3-10 kilometers", adds the prefecture.
