Since last Friday, all Toulouse residents over the age of 11 have been required to wear a mask in the street as part of the measures put in place to slow the circulation of Covid-19.
A decision which is far from having achieved unanimity. Beyond the anti-masks, cyclists have stepped up to the plate to request an exemption when they ride in the streets of the Pink City.
The WHO, the world's highest health authority, formulates the following injunction: “you should NOT wear a mask when you exercise” Who to listen to: the prefect or the WHO? 🤔 https: // t. co / zniAypWSFm
- 2 Pieds 2 Roues Toulouse (@ 2Pieds2Roues) August 25, 2020After a week of negotiations, and while the prefect of Hérault had given right to the request of the Montpellier cyclists, that of Haute-Garonne has just taken a measure authorizing two-wheelers and runners to travel without a mask, even if it remains “strongly recommended”.
A derogation under certain conditions indicates a press release from the prefecture. "The police will therefore not issue a ticket to cyclists and joggers who do not wear it, provided that these people are not in a group, are not in contact with pedestrians in meeting areas and are on a traffic lane adapted to their activity (cycle path, road, path, etc.) ”.
