Should we ban the transport of musical instruments to fight against the coronavirus epidemic?

In any case, this is what the amateur and professional musicians living in Morbihan feared when they discovered the last order of the prefect Patrice Faure.

Published on September 29, the text evoked "the ban on the movement of vehicles carrying equipment likely to be used for a festive musical event".

The musicians got scared and the local press echoed it.

Summoned to explain itself, the Morbihan prefecture was quick to draw a press release specifying its thinking.

"This article aims to prohibit the gathering of people during events organized in places not provided for this purpose, such as beaches, forests, fields, quarries, natural spaces", explains Patrice Faure.

A text against "spontaneous gatherings"

Basically, wild parties are prohibited but the flute lesson can take place.

"Such" spontaneous "demonstrations would be in contradiction with the extremely respectful management of sanitary rules by the managers of establishments open to the public such as bars and restaurants".

The prefecture therefore ensures that “musicians who join these places or a music lesson are obviously not affected by the ban on transporting their musical instrument.

The same goes for musical practice in a family circle ”.

At the time of confinement, the prefect of Morbihan had already surprised by prohibiting the sale of take-away alcohol to fight against the increase in violence against women.

"It is clear that the alcohol-containment duo are a bad mix," Patrice Faure said, angering sellers.

The ban had lasted twelve days, before being lifted.
