A reopening by department
For these parliamentarians, there is no question of reopening terraces and dining rooms everywhere at the same time: the deputies recommend a reopening in three stages, by department. It would be from May 15 for the departments where mortality from coronavirus is low, 15 days later for those where mortality is moderate and finally from June 15 for the departments most affected.

To this would be added restrictions in terms of reception of the public: for example, a restaurant with 50 covers will have to make only 30. Without forgetting the barrier gestures, greater distances between the tables as well as their disinfection between the services.
Government to vote in late May
With this proposal for a rapid reopening, demanded in particular by the right-wing opposition, the 110 deputies of the majority who signed this report want to go much faster than the government, which announced a decision in late May for restaurants and bars, in order to avoid reopening "in a rush".
