Put off the masks for Barthès, Babeth and Baba?

The animators of

Quotidien

(TMC),

C à Vous

(France 5) and

Touche pas à mon poste

(C8) are back on Monday evening, on the eve of the generalization of the obligation to wear a mask in business.

Any derogations have yet to be formalized by the government.

According to the draft health protocol presented this Monday morning by the government to the social partners, the television sets would be part of the places where it would be possible to do without, provided that there is "good ventilation, large volumes ”, As declared Sunday, the Minister of Labor Elisabeth Borne on BFMTV.

Public hidden on "TPMP"

This Monday, Cyril Hanouna, alias Baba, will return to the controls of

Touche pas à mon poste

(

TPMP

) on a plateau where the public will be reduced by half compared to the usual gauge.

The fifty or so spectators who will attend the launch show will be masked.

The host had announced, on Europe 1, that the production had ordered transparent masks designed in Portugal.

The columnists for their part will not wear a mask but they will be separated by plexiglass plates, as a person around Cyril Hanouna told

20 Minutes

.

As for

Quotidien

, the public will be completely absent around the set and it will not return for several weeks.

Yann Barthès, like his chroniclers will wear a mask, he told Le

Parisien on

Sunday but, unless otherwise indicated, only when they are off the air.

For Anne-Elisabeth - "Babeth" - Lemoine to be "masked would be complicated, quite anxious for those who (...) watch", she confided in the columns of the

Parisian

 this weekend.

However, in the event of an obligation to wear the mask on TV sets, her team "will not be outlawed", she said.

The host recalled that her program 

C à Vous

was the only one "to remain on the air without interruption during confinement".

“We washed our hands to make cracks.

Everyone wears masks.

We respect a distance on the plateau.

We have not had any case of Covid either in the drafting or among our guests, "she listed, affirming that the" protocol "would be maintained.

It remains to be seen what are the criteria for ventilation to be judged "good" and from what surface a "large volume" begins for a TV studio.

"Strong health measures"

Last week, several voices from the PAF (French audiovisual landscape) were raised against the wearing of the mask imposed on the antenna.

"All the radio and television groups wrote to the Ministers of Culture and Labor to recall that we had taken strong health measures (...) which seemed sufficient until now to guarantee the safety of all", Xavier summed up. Gandon, director of the TF1 group's branches, to our colleagues at Puremedias.

"If there was a proven health risk, there would be no reason to depart from a rule, but we have been facing this crisis for several months now and not one person has fallen ill. on our sets, ”said Marc-Olivier Fogiel, managing director of BFM, at the microphone of France Inter, deeming“ anxiety-provoking ”the wearing of the mask on the small screen.
