The rules in force to fight the coronavirus epidemic are applied more strictly in certain municipalities. Ferdinand Bernhard, mayor of Sanary-sur-Mer, has issued a municipal decree reducing the distance from home authorized during outings. From now on, the Sanaryens and Sanaryennes will no longer be able to move more than ten meters from their house, against 200 meters previously. This new decree will be applied by the twelve municipal police from Monday.

"It becomes difficult to bear certain whims," said the mayor at the microphone of Europe 1, denouncing irresponsible behavior during this period of confinement. "Over time, we realize that there are fewer and fewer people going out, but there are always refractory people who consider themselves stronger than the virus, stronger than anything."
Excessive measures?
The new instructions were sent directly to some 5,000 residents of the municipality, via a video sent by email. These images were also posted on the city's website and via Facebook.

The mayor concedes that these new measures have not been welcomed by all of his citizens: "Some people may say that it goes too far, 'this is dictatorship', 'you are excessive'. He nevertheless justifies them by stating that all of the revenue from the fines raised will be paid to the carers of the hospitals in Toulon.
