Until now, it was only compulsory in certain streets of Paris. Prime Minister Jean Castex announced on Thursday that the obligation to wear a mask would now be mandatory everywhere in the capital to limit the spread of the virus.
The head of government said so in response to a question from a journalist after a press conference. He said he was in contact with the mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, to "extend the obligation to wear a mask" in the capital, as well as in the inner suburbs.
Currently, wearing a mask has only been made compulsory in certain areas of Paris.
