"The wearing of the mask was generally respected"
"I myself was in my station in Sartrouville to distribute masks," she says. "There were a little more people than the previous weeks but it was still very reasonable, and the wearing of the mask was generally respected," continues Alexandra Dublanche. However, on social networks, images of line 13 of the metro, widely used by Ile-de-France residents, provoked strong reactions, physical distance was not respected at all and the trains were crowded.
RER B, RER D, line 13, bus ... the first images show transport where respecting physical distance is impossible.

Except on line 13, "social distancing is respected"
"There was a small incident last night due to rain infiltration, which caused the first metro to be delayed by 40 minutes," explains Alexandra Dublanche. "But overall, social distancing is respected and I salute the civic-mindedness and self-discipline of Ile-de-France residents".
The same is true for Jean-Baptiste Djebbari, Secretary of State for Transport, who assured Monday morning that the recovery day is going "correctly", reports AFP. He remained cautious, however: "we will have more information during the day," he said.
