Screen capture of the travel certificate in digital format. - H. Sergeant / 20Minutes

No more copying or printing in triplicate. Since Monday morning at 8:00 am, the travel certificate is available online in addition to the paper version. The service is now available here, on the website of the Ministry of the Interior and the government, said the minister.

"The French have appropriated the rules of containment, it is therefore necessary to give them a little flexibility with this tool", announced on April 2 the Minister of the Interior, in an interview with Parisien.fr.

Avoid fraud

Concretely, the form can be downloaded in PDF format from a smartphone, in order to present it to the police with a QR code. "There will be no file. No one will be able to collect user data ”, underlined Christophe Castaner. It also specifies that this new device will protect against the risks of fraud.

"You will have to specify your exit time, but the time at which you edited the document will be accessible to the police. This will prevent people from completing the certificate only at the sight of a police check. And thanks to the QR code, the police and gendarmes will not need to pick up the phone, they will just have to scan the screen, "added the minister.

Reinforcement of controls

In an interview with 20 Minutes , the Secretary of State for the Interior, Laurent Nunez announced a "strengthening of controls" at the start of the Easter holidays. "Over the weekend, the police carried out 1.4 million checks and carried out almost 67,000 reports, as announced by the Minister of the Interior." A justified increase "because we think that a certain number of people will want to change their place of confinement, to move from home to second home, which is completely prohibited," continues the minister.

According to the Sunday evening assessment of the Directorate General of Health (DGS), France has registered 357 new deaths in hospital in the past 24 hours, the lowest number recorded since Tuesday, bringing to 8,078 the total number of deaths taking into account data from nursing homes and other medico-social establishments. And nearly 7,000 patients requiring heavy care are in intensive care.
