Barely validated (for the most part) by the Constitutional Council, the law extending the health pass to new public places and establishing the vaccination obligation for caregivers was published in the Official Journal on Friday. 

Already in force since July 21 in certain places of leisure and culture, this pass requiring either a total vaccination, a negative Covid-19 test or a certificate of recovery will be extended from Monday, August 9 to cafes, restaurants, planes, trains, coaches for long journeys, fairs, seminars and trade shows.

The law just promulgated, applicable "until November 15, 2021 inclusive", also provides for a vaccination obligation for caregivers and other professions in contact with vulnerable groups, who have until October 15 to present a vaccination schedule. full.

The health pass also required at the hospital 

The health pass will also be compulsory for visitors or non-urgent patients in health establishments and retirement homes as long as the latter does not “obstruct access to care”.

The law establishes a procedure for the suspension of the employment contract without remuneration in the absence of a pass, the Constitutional Council having on the other hand censured the early termination of contract of fixed-term contracts or temporary workers without a pass.

The compulsory isolation of patients for 10 days was also considered disproportionate by the Wise Men.

The device is contested by French anti-pass or anti-vaccination who launched new calls to demonstrate this Saturday, after already three days of mobilization, the last of which, on July 31, brought together more than 200,000 people across France according to the Ministry of the Interior.
