France is currently facing a fourth corona wave and is very concerned that it could rise "very high".
Corona measures are now being taken again.
Paris - In the fight against a new corona wave, stricter corona rules apply in France.
From today, a negative corona test or proof of vaccination or recovery is required in the cinema, theater or museum.
This applies as soon as more than 50 people come together.
Head of state Emmanuel Macron announced the changes last week.
According to the Official Journal, other events or locations such as trade fairs or certain sports facilities are also affected.
The country is currently facing a fourth corona wave, government spokesman Gabriel said on Monday.
This wave could rise "very high", he warned.
In the country of around 67 million people, well over half have received at least one vaccination.
From the beginning of August, proof will be mandatory in the country for long-distance trains, bars, restaurants, shopping centers or hospitals.
The government passed a law on this.
An exact date for the change has not yet been set.
