"

To face the criticisms emitted concerning some of these devices adopted for several weeks, the prefect assured that “the measures which I successively took - wearing of the mask in the metropolis on August 31;

restriction of social activities on September 14;

Early closing of bars at 10 p.m. on September 27 - contributed to the lull in the circulation of the virus.

These measures were necessary and proportionate ”.
