The Eiffel Tower, one of France's leading tourist destinations, has resumed operations for the first time in about nine months, and measures have been taken such as limiting the number of visitors to watch out for the re-spread of the new coronavirus infection.
The Eiffel Tower in Paris has been closed since October last year due to the spread of the new coronavirus, but it will be open for the first time in about 9 months on the 16th due to the improvement of the infection situation. It has resumed.
Many people lined up at the entrance before the opening at 1:00 pm, and when the opening time was reached, they went in one after another.
A woman from France who visited with her family said, "I'm very happy. I made a reservation, but I'm glad that it coincided with the day of reopening."
On the other hand, in France, the mutant virus "Delta strain" confirmed in India accounts for more than 60% of newly infected people, and there is concern that the infection will spread again. We have decided to limit the number of people to a maximum of 13,000.
In addition, from the 21st of this month, based on the new regulations of the French government, we will require the presentation of documents proving negative vaccination or testing at the time of admission.
A representative of the Eiffel Tower operator said, "I'm happy to accept tourists again. It's a symbol of the revival of French tourism."
