19 new cases in 24 hours, and only in young people. In Quiberon, in Morbihan, the authorities are starting to tighten the screws in the face of the increase in the number of Covid-19 cases observed in recent days.
One of the clusters started from a nightclub in the city. This disco had arranged with the bans, transforming itself into a "night bar" in order to be able to open. The boss organized several dance evenings there. As a sanction, the prefecture ordered a two-month closure for non-compliance with health rules.

Reinforced police checks
Other bars are in the sights of the prefect. And to ensure compliance with the rules, controls will be tightened. In this context, the local restaurateurs are worried about having to play the police. "It is not our role but it is absolutely necessary that we do it. Sometimes, people return without mask and the time that you intervene, there is a risk. Establishments can suffer negligence of the customers", affirms restaurateur Karim Khan at the microphone of Europe 1. The restaurateur hopes that the police will be indulgent.
