As of February 15, the rules will also change for people who test positive for Covid-19.
In a video posted on Twitter, the Minister of Health, Olivier Véran, announced that the recovery certificate, obtained after a positive test, will only be valid for four months, compared to the current six months.

This measure had not, until now, been mentioned by the government.
As with the vaccination pass - which will be deactivated four months after the last vaccine injection for people who have not yet received their booster dose - the reinstatement certificate will only be valid four months after the test if the person is not fully vaccinated.
The certificate is issued only after
“an RT-PCR or antigenic test”
and not a self-test, is it specified in a note published on the site of the Ministry of Health.
This result must be more than 11 days old and less than 4 months old for the document to be valid.
35 million booster doses
“People who have tested positive for Covid-19 before being able to receive their booster dose can use their recovery certificate so that their “vaccination pass” remains valid while waiting for their booster dose”,
further specifies the ministry.
The document can be obtained either on the SI-DEP platform or in paper version from a laboratory or a professional authorized to carry out tests.

During his video message, Olivier Véran also indicated that
“more than 35 million French people”
had now done their booster dose.
"It's a lot but it's still not enough", however warned the minister, while specifying that
"more than two million slots were open at present".
