An air of freedom is blowing across France.

This Wednesday, further reductions in health restrictions are planned, affecting in particular the event and transport sector.

Resumption of nightlife and a certain form of independence in collective spaces, we take stock of this new step in the direction of an epidemic situation which is improving day by day.

Reopening of nightclubs

From this Wednesday, dancing in a disco will again be allowed in France.

The latter, which hopes to approach the end of the fifth wave after the surge linked to the Omicron variant, will allow these establishments closed since December 10 to welcome the party again.

Wearing a mask inside will not be compulsory but it will remain recommended for customers and staff within establishments, according to the protocol published by the government on Wednesday.

Standing concerts allowed

Other good news from this lifting of restrictions, the concert halls will once again be able to accommodate standing audiences this evening.

Since January 3, these were prohibited and a gauge had been put in place for large gatherings.

A decision that had serious consequences with many postponements of concerts and tours.

Authorization to drink and eat in stadiums, cinemas and transport

To your triangle sandwiches!

From today, it's the return of snacks in public transport but also popcorn in dark rooms.

The consumption of food and drink is once again authorized in cinemas, TGVs and also stadiums after it was also banned on January 3.

Consumption standing up in bars

What could be sadder than toasting while sitting in a harbor without music?

Dry your tears all this is behind you.

From this evening, standing consumption will again be authorized in bars.

And as news never comes alone, the coffee counters, too, will be able to welcome you for an espresso and the reading of your 20 Minutes.

“We will be able to completely get out of the wave in a few weeks”

Invited to our colleagues from franceinfo this Wednesday, Olivier Véran, Minister of Health, took stock of the health situation in France and drew up a rather positive assessment, tending towards an imminent exit from the crisis.

🗣 End of restrictions ➡️ "I'm not saying that we will lighten everything, but probably that in mid-March, we will be able to lighten again" if "the hospital is in normal operating condition" according to Olivier Véran, citing the end of the indoor mask or the vaccination pass. pic.twitter.com/0uMaiIHhoE
