In some places, welcoming at least 50 people, against 1,000 previously, such as theaters, games, sports or museums, the health pass will now be requested, according to a decree published in the Official Journal on Tuesday.

This health pass (proving the complete vaccination, a recent negative test or the immunization) was already in force in these places and establishments, but the gauge was lowered to 50 people against 1,000 previously, according to this decree which modifies part of the original decree dating from June.

Museums and libraries added to the list

These are essentially places or establishments intended for "cultural, recreational, sporting or festive activities as well as fairs or professional shows", according to the text of this decree.

Museums and libraries were however added to the list of these places previously defined by the original decree.

This concerns in particular places of worship, conference and performance halls, cinemas, marquees, games and dance halls, trade fairs or exhibitions of a temporary nature, as well as covered sports establishments.

Also concerned by this lowering of the gauge are "cultural, sporting, fun or festive events organized in public space or in a place open to the public".

The question of shopping centers

Faced with "a virus that contaminates at lightning speed", the Council of Ministers on Monday adopted the bill including the obligation to vaccinate caregivers and extending the health pass, with some relaxations on fines and controls.

This text will begin its way to Parliament on Tuesday before a possible adoption at the end of the week.

In particular, it provides for the extension of the health pass, in particular to cafes, restaurants and trains "from the beginning of August".

But uncertainties remain as to its application to shopping centers: the government wishes to maintain the obligation to present it in the largest establishments but must find the right formula, taking into account the opinion of the Council of State which considers that the access to basic necessities must be guaranteed.
