The device of a bracelet serving as a health pass to facilitate entry into bars and restaurants in Gironde, was "suspended" Thursday in order to "clarify the contours of the operation", announced the Umih-33.
The operation which had started Wednesday, "is suspended", indicated to AFP Laurent Tournier, president of the Union of trades and industries of the departmental hotel trade.
“I want this operation to be peaceful.
However, it was misinterpreted in the comments ”after press articles, said Laurent Tournier.
“The bracelet does not replace the health pass.
The bracelet is a visible medium for the health pass ", he stressed," it is an additional means for our regular customers, already checked several times, to be identified more clearly.
But that does not release our customers from having the health pass, ”he insisted.
"Today, things are getting carried away, there are controversies"
The principle of the device was that a customer, probably a regular at the establishment, volunteered to present the operator with proof of his complete vaccination schedule as well as his identity.
“Today, things are getting carried away, there are controversies.
We will wait for the spirits to calm down.
I want to provide solutions, not problems, "repeated Laurent Tournier, indicating that his decision was taken" in agreement with the authorities of Gironde ".
The prefecture had let it be known on Wednesday that the police "would continue to check the pass and not the bracelet."
We will judge: if it works, so much the better, if it does not work, we stop everything.
We have the joystick ”, had specified to AFP, about this device, Martin Guespereau, delegated prefect for defense and security.
