Emmanuel Macron put on a mask this Thursday, December 8 during a trip to Vienne, believing that it was necessary to “ get
back to habits
” in the face of the rise in the Covid-19 epidemic, “
on a voluntary basis
. ".
"
I follow the recommendations of my minister
", he said, alongside the Minister of Health François Braun, also masked, on the occasion of a session of the National Council for Refoundation (CNR) in Fontaine- le-Comte, near Poitiers.
François Bayrou, secretary general of the CNR, first without a mask, finally also resolved to wear one.
"It's good to do pedagogy"
“
Faced with the rise of the epidemic (..) I think it is good to do pedagogy because we do not want to return to generalized obligations necessarily
”, continued the head of the State.
"
So it's also a way to resume habits based on volunteerism and the spirit of responsibility
," he said.
Faced with a ninth wave of Covid-19 which is added to epidemics of influenza and bronchiolitis, the government still refuses coercion but does not rule out toughening its position on the mask if the situation requires it.
Sunday, François Braun, guest of BFMTV, launched a “
solemn appeal
” to encourage the most fragile to be vaccinated against this wave.
