INTERVIEW

The obligation to wear the mask in business comes into force on Tuesday 1 September. The mask should therefore be worn, both in meeting rooms, corridors, locker rooms and in open spaces. Only employees working in individual offices will be able to do without it. "Everyone must play the game," hammered Sunday in Europe Matin Patrick Martin, the deputy chairman of Medef.

"The worst that can happen to the population as to companies and their employees is a re-containment", he points out. While the indicators for monitoring the circulation of the coronavirus in France have continued to deteriorate since the middle of the summer, with in particular more than 7,000 positive cases detected at the end of the week, the mask appears in the eyes of many health professionals like the best barrier against epidemic reflux.
