Wearing a mask outdoors is compulsory from Monday, August 10 in certain areas in Paris as well as in Seine-Saint-Denis, Hauts-de-Seine, Val-de-Marne and Val-d ' Oise. Scheduled for a renewable period of one month, this measure should allow health authorities to stop a rebound of the virus which raises fears of a second wave of the epidemic with potentially devastating effects for the French economy.

The French are now overwhelmingly in favor of wearing a mask outside, with nearly two-thirds of them wanting it to become compulsory in open public places, according to an Ifop poll for Le Journal du Dimanche . According to this survey carried out between August 5 and 7, 64% of French people want the wearing of a mask "to become compulsory for anyone going to an open public place" against 36% who say they are opposed to it.
Failure to wear a mask is punishable by a fine of 135 euros.
