The restorers of Bas-Rhin opposed to the prefect on the wearing of the mask

The hoteliers and restaurateurs of Bas-Rhin are fighting back.

They have crossed their throats the prefectural decree which entered into force on August 31.

This makes it compulsory, until September 30, to wear a mask in establishments already subject to the health pass.

Including theirs.

The state representative in the department was not obliged to make this decision. But, as the law authorizes him, Josiane Chevalier preferred to play the precaution in the face of the epidemic. The Bas-Rhin Hospitality Trades and Industry Union (Umih 67) sees it more as a form of “super-precaution”. “Your order is a blow to the presidential contract. It becomes a counter-advertisement for vaccination, ”writes the group again in a letter addressed to the prefect that Les Latest Nouvelles d'Alsace obtained.

"We hope that she will withdraw this decree", confirms to

Pierre Siegel, the president of the Umih in Strasbourg.

“Tuesday morning, as had been planned for a while with the entry of the health pass, we could take off our masks.

In the afternoon, cd was no longer the case because of this decision, ”he continues.

“We do not understand the substance, because the incidence rate is falling, nor the form because it was done without consultation.

We would be in the current situation of Martinique or Guadeloupe, there would be no discussion but there… ”

In the absence of a return from the prefecture, the group of hoteliers and restaurateurs could lodge an appeal with the administrative court.
