A first television interview for Jean Castex, since May 11.
This Wednesday, the Prime Minister will be present at 1 p.m. of TF1 to speak about the new measures envisaged to deal with the daily increase in contamination with the Delta variant.
This speech will take place just after a Defense Council convened by Emmanuel Macron, on the theme of the Covid-19 crisis.
It is this Wednesday that the expansion of the health pass must come into force at the entrance to all places of leisure and culture bringing together more than 50 people.
Only children and adolescents between 12 and 17 years old will not need to present this pass.
For them, the new provision will take effect on August 30.
A long parliamentary process
The health pass must then be extended in early August to shopping centers, cafes and restaurants as well as long-distance transport and medical establishments.
In the meantime, the bill relating to these new measures must be presented on Monday in the Council of Ministers and the Council of State must also give its opinion.
He could revoke the provision aimed at isolating each infected person for 10 days and checks by the police, if necessary.
