The controls will "intensify from this day", in "stations, airports and road tolls" while "continuing the checks to respect barrier gestures" to fight against Covid-19, Matignon said on Friday.

These measures, announced by the Minister of the Interior Gerald Darmanin during a meeting with Prime Minister Jean Castex, come at a time when the situation is "critical with the entry into action of the third wave and the predominance of the British variant" .
