We do not hide the mask, in the Hérault.
In order to fight against the spread of Covid-19, wearing a mask remains compulsory for people over 11 years old in the department, even outside, in public spaces.
The prefecture extended the order until September 15.
Only natural spaces, beaches and bathing areas are not affected by this measure.
Alcohol consumption still prohibited on public roads
People who practice physical activities or cyclists are not, either, concerned by this obligation, since they are in "places with low population density thus allowing the respect of social distancing", indicates the prefecture of Hérault, in the decree published Tuesday.
In addition, the consumption of alcohol on the public highway remains prohibited in 16 municipalities of the department, including Montpellier, Béziers, Sète and Agde.
However, the ban on meeting more than ten on the beaches between midnight and 6 a.m. has been repealed.
The circulation of the virus is still very strong in the Hérault: Tuesday, the incidence rate of Covid-19 was 348 per 100,000 inhabitants over seven days.
Either the highest rate in the Occitanie region.
In comparison, the incidence rate was 180 Tuesday in France.
