The first full-scale test " went well overall ." Guest of RTL this Tuesday, May 12, the ex-LR president of the Île-de-France region, Valérie Pécresse, returned to the results of the first 24 hours of deconfinement in public transport. " We are monitoring the situation like milk on fire, " she warned. As RATP traffic gradually resumes, the Ile-de-France elected official confirmed that " we are not 100 today ". “ We won't be 100% tomorrow. But we will gradually, by June 2, go back to 100% ", she detailed, indicating that the filtering would now" start at 6 am (...) and no longer at 6 am and half or seven o'clock as it was yesterday (Monday)"

Faced with the many uncertainties remaining on the health situation in the country, Valérie Pécresse warned about the timetable for the return to normal. “ There are always going to be a lot of restrictions. (...) We do not exclude any scenario. And if we do not manage to sufficiently respect social distanciations , we are always under threat, under the knife, of closure of train lines or stations, if they are too busy, "she warned. " This is what I want to avoid, because it would be very unfair to all Ile-de-France residents who have to go to work, " she continued.
Transport users who do not wear a mask will be fined
It is in this logic that the president of the Île-de-France region decided to " reserve transport as a priority for those who have to work ". " And therefore, between 6:30 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. (then) between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. in the evening, priority will be given to those who have an employer certificate, and to those who have pressing needs for get around, "she said, saying that" if we don't have (a certificate), we won't be able to enter the transport network . " " The employer certificate will be checked and fixed at the entrance to the stations, " she added.
" Outside rush hour, transportation is obviously free to access, in imitation of social distancing, " then confirmed Valérie Pécresse. Beyond the barrier gestures, the elected representative insisted on the compulsory wearing of a mask. “ There is no possible relaxation on the wearing of the mask. We will have to continue to distribute them. The Region will continue, next week, to distribute, while waiting for the employers to take over, and also so that Ile-de-France residents can buy them freely, and at low prices, "she announced. " We provide (the masks), so those who do not put them on are people who refuse to wear them, and therefore in these cases it is normal for them to be immediately verbalized, because they put in danger to others, ”she concluded.
