This photo of a Roissy terminal full of people is authentic

• Three photos posted on Twitter show a crowd of travelers rushing to the boarding gates of Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle airport, without respecting the minimum distance of one meter.
• Doctor Jérôme Marty, author of this viral post, confirms the authenticity of this photo taken by one of his acquaintances, who was traveling to the south of France.
• The Aéroports de Paris group (ADP) also confirms that flights did take place at the place and at the time of the photo, and calls for civic-minded travelers.

"Yesterday at Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle airport, in the middle of confinement, everything is going well in this land of barjots", "Really a big joke." Big natural selection to come ”,“ What organization at Charles de Gaulle Airport… No crowd of more than 5 people! Mind-blowing ”. A host of indignant tweets have been posted since Tuesday, in response to three photos showing a crowd of travelers in one of the terminals at Charles-de-Gaulle airport. These passengers are far from respecting the recommendation to observe a distance of one meter between each person in public places to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.

The photos were posted by doctor Jérôme Marty on his Twitter account. The president of the French Union for Free Medicine (UFML) himself captioned: “It is currently at CDG. Do we really have a general branch of health? "

Right now at CDG!
No but we really have a general direction of health ???
