It's just a matter of a few hours. According to several media, the wearing of a mask will be made compulsory in certain areas, the most frequented, of the city of Toulouse. The prefectural decree should be taken on Tuesday with the streets and squares where it will be mandatory.

In a press release, the prefect of Haute-Garonne that "portions of public roads in the city of Toulouse particularly busy, defined jointly with the mayor" will be subject to the obligation to wear a mask. He specifies that this measure will apply "to certain time slots". As for Lille, a map with the areas concerned should be published. If the mask is not worn in them, the person will risk a fine of 135 euros.
