  • Alerted by the police of breaches of establishments to the rules of confinement in Gironde, the prefect Fabienne Buccio strengthens the restrictions.

  • It takes a decree, applicable from Saturday, which prohibits the opening of food shops and "click and collect" after 10 pm.

  • She had already taken this order during the first confinement.

Some Gironde establishments are trying to circumvent the rules of confinement, in particular after 10 p.m. and the prefect Fabienne Buccio, alerted by the police, is rife.

She announced this Friday that she would take a decree, applicable from this Saturday, to go beyond the restrictions imposed by the government on Thursday evening, as the law allows.

After consulting elected officials and the business world, she decided to ban the department from opening food stores and "click and collect" activity after 10 pm, from this Saturday.

A measure "well understood" by the economic world

For example, a club in the Bordeaux metropolitan area has turned into a private club by trying to reopen by contacting its most loyal customers.

But some of them, shocked by the process, contacted the authorities.

"It should be understood that some have irresponsible behavior", specifies the prefect.

Numerous offenses, relating in particular to the sale of alcohol and to gatherings, have been observed in the Bordeaux metropolis, but also in Libourne and Arcachon.

A decree of the same type had been taken during the first confinement "and there had been a certain number of closures of establishments", specifies the prefect.

Wishing to avoid any gathering that could lead to contamination, she believes that the decree has been "well understood" by the business world.

Large surfaces have been the subject of numerous controls since the start of this second confinement.

About one in four had remarks, without verbalization on the first pass, in Gironde.

And, last week a thousand inspections took place at professionals, supermarkets and traders in the department.

As of this Friday, the police are targeting stations, tolls and rest areas to pick up anyone who would be tempted to leave for a weekend in full confinement.

If there are more reasons for leaving, the message from the prefecture is clear: this confinement is as strict as the first and it is controlled.
