The decree, which imposed the wearing of masks outdoors in the eight most important municipalities of Lozère, was not extended on April 30, due to "the improvement of the health situation", learned

this Friday from the services of the prefecture.

Outside the cities, the mask was not compulsory.

The prefecture of Lozère however recalls “that in all situations, barrier gestures must be applied.

Wearing a mask, washing hands, and strictly respecting social distancing, make it possible to slow the spread of the virus and limit its consequences on economic, social and cultural life ”.

Thus, if wearing a mask is no longer compulsory in Lozère, this is only the case when you are alone and outdoors.

"I trust", said the prefect

“I still appeal to common sense,” confides Valérie Hatsch, the prefect of Lozère, to France Bleu Gard Lozère.

Remember that six people must wear a mask.

But it is sure that when you are all alone in the street, it is still more pleasant to walk without a mask, we all agree.

I hope that I will not be led to harden this position.

I trust the Lozériennes and the Lozériens.

Some continue to wear a mask, and I am happy about that.
