The number of “negative cases” continues to increase with the checks carried out by the authorities.

We are not talking about the number of Covid-19 contaminations, which continues to drop in Brittany, but drinking establishments pinned for non-compliance with health instructions.

In Ille-et-Vilaine, 38 bars and restaurants have already been called to order for failures since the terraces reopened on May 19.

A figure that has been constantly revised upwards this weekend after the intensification of checks by the State services.

"We were at 22 establishments Friday, 26 Saturday and 38 this Tuesday", reveals the prefecture of Ille-et-Vilaine, joined by

The deviations from the rules set by the government have multiplied on the occasion of Ascension weekend.

Sanctions taken overwhelmingly in Rennes, but also in Saint-Malo and Dinard.

In the Breton capital, a bar on rue Saint-Michel (the famous rue de la Soif) was even hit with an administrative closure for two weeks.

Intensification of controls

These checks were planned and announced. But the excesses of the reopening evening on May 19 in the streets of Rennes prompted the authorities to harden their tone. The images of a bonfire on Place Sainte-Anne and a crowd in no hurry to return have toured the country, forcing the prefecture to intensify health checks, in particular through the Departmental Directorate of Protection populations. In the pinned bars, state officials saw customers standing still being served, tables with more than six people, or display defects. Failures already criticized by the Rennes elected official Didier Le Bougeant the day after the deconfinement boom on May 19. “Some bars have been overwhelmed, tackled Nathalie Appéré's assistant.It is not acceptable that a few establishments, because they break the rules, come to darken the picture of a much awaited reopening ”.

While the weather promises to be milder, especially from Thursday, the authorities fully intend to enforce the 9 p.m. curfew.

The national police, in conjunction with the municipal police, will be deployed in Rennes and Saint-Malo.

The gendarmes will take care of the grain in the more rural territories, warns the prefecture.
