The list of cities requiring the wearing of masks outdoors continues to grow in the West. After Rennes and Nantes, Angers has in turn announced a strengthening of health measures on its territory. “The Prefect of Maine-et-Loire took, in agreement with the mayor of Angers, a decree which makes it compulsory to wear a mask in all Angers markets from Saturday August 15 and in the city center from Monday August 17.

Similar to orders already in force in many cities in France, this preventive measure aims to reduce the risk of transmission of Covid-19 in the most frequented open public places, ”the city said in a press release. Faced with the growing power of the epidemic, the wearing of masks outside is spreading to more and more cities and tourist sites in France. Prime Minister Jean Castex on Tuesday called on the French to pull themselves together and pleaded for wearing a mask.
