Invited by France TV to give his point of view on Marcoussis' “Clustergate” in rugby, Professor Eric Caumes, who also participated in the preparation of the investigation report commissioned by the Ministry of Sports, took advantage of it. to answer a question about the return of audiences to stadiums.

While a meeting is scheduled at the Elysee Palace on this Wednesday, the head of the infectious diseases department of the Pitié-Salpêtrière hospital was categorical: for him, it is absolutely necessary to reopen the stadiums to the public with the establishment of gauges and a strict sanitary protocol.

“I've been saying this for several months: people should go back to the stadiums.

We do not contaminate ourselves at the stadium, outside, but at the bistro in front of the stadium if I may say so.

Contamination takes place in an enclosed space.

The only risk factor in a stadium is the toilet.

But with a gauge, we could very well fill the Stade de France with 20 or 25,000 people, the Parc des Princes with 10,000, 2,500 in each stand.

People would be several meters from each other.

Families would be more likely to infect each other, rather than going to the stadium.

"

The "health pass" as a miracle recipe?

For Eric Caumes, the problem stems from the fact that “these are political decisions, not health ones.

Even people no longer understand it.

And since the State has nothing to do with the opinions of the Scientific Council, we have not come out of the brambles… ”.

For his part, Emmanuel Macron had mentioned last week the establishment in France of a "health pass" in order to reopen certain places without conditioning their access to vaccination, considering that this "important subject" which "will pose a lot technical questions, respect for individual data, organization of our freedoms ”, must be“ prepared now, technically, politically and legally ”.
