A marathon debate for a highly flammable text. The Constitutional Council has worked tirelessly, from Sunday 3 pm until Monday evening, on the law which extends the state of emergency which it has largely validated. Only two major censors reach the text.

The first on quarantine requests the legislator to review its copy as soon as people are placed under house arrest for more than 12 hours in a row after 14 days of quarantine. Likewise, the Constitutional Council considers that in the matter none of the provisions initially provided for by the law of March 23 can be maintained with regard to this censorship.

With regard to files, the Constitutional Council censors access to medical data by certain organizations, such as those providing social support to town halls, which cannot have direct access to them.

It also introduces reservations of interpretation concerning the subcontractors using this file in the name of data confidentiality. Similarly, it requires authorizations for each of the people who will have access to the file and not just one for the whole of an organization having access to it. Finally, with regard strictly to epidemiological studies, it does not allow the email addresses of people on file to appear.
