Resuming indoor sport or swimming in an indoor pool, enjoying your coffee indoors in the event of rain or going bowling ... all this becomes possible again this Wednesday, after seven months of deprivation due to the Covid-19 epidemic.

Three weeks after the reopening of terraces, cinemas and museums and specialized shops with reduced gauges, it is the second stage of deconfinement, with the added bonus of a curfew which passes to 11 p.m. instead of 9 p.m.

In particular, this will allow spectators to enjoy the nightly matches of the Roland-Garros tournament.

From this Wednesday, cafes and restaurants can once again welcome the public indoors, at 50% of their capacity, which will allow many small establishments without a terrace or of an insufficient size to be profitable, to reopen. .

They must keep, like sports halls, a reminder book to recontact customers in the event of contamination.

At the same time, the terraces of cafes, restaurants and hotels can reopen completely with the only limit being tables of up to six people.

Situation soon to be reviewed for nightclubs

The revival of the hotel and catering sector will have a significant impact on the country's economy, with more than a million jobs at stake. Even if the foreign clientele is still lacking. Unlike nightclubs whose situation will be reviewed on June 21, amusement parks, casinos and thalassotherapy centers are also among the lucky ones elected in the second phase, with strict health protocols. In the office, teleworking is relaxed, as are the rules in canteens and for drinking with colleagues.

The gauge of cinemas, museums, theaters rises to 65% of the initial capacity, almost double what has been authorized since May 19 (35%) with a maximum of 5,000 people.

Same attendance limits and gauge for festivals authorized only in a seated and open-air configuration.

This will be the case for the Fête de la musique on June 21, but without the impromptu performances at the corner of the street, the mini-concerts in bars or restaurants, and gatherings of more than 10 people, prohibited.

Emmanuel Macron calls on the French to remain "cautious"

Trade shows and fairs can resume within the limit of 5,000 visitors and with a health pass (negative tests or vaccination) above 1,000 entries. Sports centers and gymnasiums, just like bowling alleys and game rooms, are now subject to a 50% gauge, dance classes for adults can restart with a limit of 35% of the capacity but boxing, like all sports contact, remains passable only outdoors.

We will have to wait until June 30 for the end of the curfew, the gauges in bars, restaurants and cultural spaces, and restrictions on outdoor gatherings even if the festivals will keep a gauge of 4 m2 per festival-goer and the sanitary pass at- more than 1,000 people welcomed.

Provided that the health situation continues to improve, warned Tuesday, President Emmanuel Macron, who called on the French to remain "cautious" and to be vaccinated with all their hands, taking their pilgrim's stick if necessary to convince family, friends or acquaintances.
