The institution specifies that "prevention" will be carried out in order to "recall (...) the necessary respect for sanitary measures".
In the event of “massive” regroupings without respecting the rules “temporary evacuation operations of public spaces, immediately followed by their reopening, would be implemented in the same way as last weekend”.
Last week, the quays of the Seine were evacuated in Paris, Saturday, during the afternoon.
A disagreement then appeared in the public square between the prefecture and the town hall of Paris on the conditions of this evacuation, leading the prefect Lallement to apologize to the mayor Anne Hidalgo.
