The wearing of a mask was compulsory on rue Sainte-Catherine, in Bordeaux, since May 11, 2020. - UGO AMEZ / SIPA

In Bordeaux, wearing a mask is no longer compulsory on all indoor and outdoor markets, nor for strolling through Sainte-Catherine and Porte-Dijeaux streets. Wearing a mask "remains compulsory in certain situations," said the town hall on its website. Either "at the reception of the town hall, in public transport or in stores, at the discretion of those responsible," we detail on the side of the Palais Rohan.

He added: "The city always recommends wearing a mask, but no longer requires it". Nicolas Florian's teams thus "strongly" advise to come to the masked polling stations this Sunday, the day of the second round of the municipal elections.

A mask for "80 to 90% of the population"

At the end of April, Bordeaux Métropole launched its distribution of “general public” masks by post with one objective: a mask for “80 to 90% of the population in the week of May 11,” according to Nicolas Florian. This Thursday afternoon, on Twitter, the city announced the relaxation of the wearing of these masks, made compulsory by decree as part of the progressive deconfinement since May 11.

As a reminder, as part of the deconfinement, rue Sainte-Catherine had been completely redeveloped, with two side aisles to organize the queues in front of the shops, and a central lane reserved for strolling. As for the quays, on the banks of the Garonne, they had been reopened for walkers and joggers, but in front of the influx of Bordelais, the town hall had finally made them "dynamic" at the end of May until July 10. They were finally "released" on June 2, the last stage of progressive deconfinement giving the green light to the reopening of bars and restaurants.
