France tightened the corona restrictions.

In many places nothing works without a health pass, and there is also compulsory vaccination for health workers.

Munich / Paris - France is taking the next step in the coronavirus pandemic * and is expanding the corona restrictions.

Specifically: The French Constitutional Council has approved the tightening of the said Covid-19 requirements in the country.

The judges found the new regulations passed by parliament on Thursday (August 5th) to be constitutional.

The expansion of the regulations on the health passport (pass sanitaire) and the compulsory vaccination for health workers can thus come into force on Monday as planned.

There had been mass protests across France in recent weeks against the plans.

Many areas of public life are affected by the measure.

In future, a vaccination against corona and / or a survived infection * or a negative test will be noted in the health passport.

The opposition had tried in vain to prevent the entire package of measures through the involvement of the Constitutional Council.

Left-wing MPs see the principle of equality for all citizens in jeopardy.

They pointed to the lower proportion of vaccinated people in poorer sections of the population and warned that the regulations would exacerbate social inequality.

Vaccinated or convalescent persons with appropriate proof are exempt from the test requirement.

The health passport also had to be shown from July 21st in amusement parks, cinemas or attractions such as the Eiffel Tower in Paris.

And now that this has to be presented almost everywhere?
