The mask arrives. After Lille, Tours, Biarritz, Toulouse and even Nice, the mask will become mandatory outdoors in the capital, mainly in the busiest areas. Faced with the fear of a resumption of the epidemic, the mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, favorable to the measure and after consultation with the mayors of districts, seized this Tuesday the Paris police prefecture (PP), and has forwarded his request to the Prefect of Police Didier Lallement, competent in the matter since the end of July.

The PP, which was not “unfavorable” to the measure, immediately began to work on the issue. "The work of identifying sites is being done between the PP and the City of Paris," explained one to the Town Hall, requested by 20 Minutes , Tuesday evening. After work to identify sites, in progress, the zoning must be communicated this Thursday. The quays of the Seine, the banks of the Canal, the covered markets, the parks and possibly the surroundings of the stations, could be concerned initially.

What do you think ? Should we go further and impose the mask in all the streets? Is it unnecessary? Do you intend to respect the measure or more to avoid the places concerned?
