The @paperplanenice team announces this evening its decision to apply the precautionary principle in the face of the imminent threat of the corona virus in Nice and other cities close to Italy. We have chosen wisdom in the face of this sad threat which unfortunately concerns us all and therefore to close our doors for an indefinite period which will be updated according to the situation. It is a choice of protection for ourselves, our employees and our customers. With the principle “prevention is better than cure”, we prefer to take the choice of precaution and safety. We hope to return to normal as soon as possible to welcome you again in good conditions. Being close to our customers, following this choice, if necessary we are at your disposal (MP). 🙏🏻😊❤️

But it can also be in a cinema, or even in a simple meeting, "explained the specialist, calling all the same to" keep reason ". "It is not a virus that will decimate the population," he said.
