"The French hold in their hands the fact of living normally," said Culture Minister Roselyne Bachelot on Saturday in Cannes about the progression of the Delta variant of Covie-19.
Asked during a press briefing on the concerns of those in charge of cultural places in the face of new health restrictions that the President of the Republic could announce on Monday, Ms. Bachelot launched "a call for responsibility, benevolence, respect for his own health and above all respect for the health of others ".
For the Minister of Culture, "we all have the fate of the cultural sector in our hands".
"We have tools that we did not have a few months ago to keep cultural places open. First: get vaccinated, sometimes overcome reluctance, fears or simply indifference. Second: the health pass, it is is easy! ”added Ms. Bachelot on the sidelines of a CNC (National Cinema Center) conference organized during the Cannes Film Festival.
"Some people have a mountain of health passes. This is not true. We all have a smartphone with a vaccination certificate or a test of less than 48 hours. The places of culture offer antigenic tests ... And then, he y respect for protective measures: frost, mask, ventilation of the rooms ... ", Ms. Bachelot said.
