From March 14, cinemas and other places of entertainment in France will no longer need a permit indicating full vaccination against COVID. The newly relaxed rules also extend to other entertainment venues, such as bars, theatres, restaurants, gyms and theme parks, as well as long-distance trains. French Prime Minister Jean Castix provided the update earlier today, according to Delivery dateAccount.
“The situation is improving thanks to our collective efforts, so we will move forward with a new phase of mitigation measures,” Castix told TF1 news. Castex also announced that masks will no longer be required anywhere except in public transport and medical facilities from March 14.
The French government has been able to phase out its COVID-19 restrictions since the start of the new year, which has seen it tighten some measures, while gradually easing others. At the end of February, the mask obligation had already been lifted in French cinemas and other places of public gathering, while the vaccination permit remained compulsory. As part of the indulgence, the sale of franchises was also allowed at the time.
Work-from-home rules have also been relaxed, nightclubs have reopened and the maximum number of people allowed into sports and entertainment venues has been increased.
The vaccination license approved by parliament has remained a hotly debated issue since it came into effect in late January. When introduced, it was understood that the measures would remain in place until the summer. However, with the dissipation of the Omicron variant, the resulting risk to public health has diminished significantly and cases now stand at a weekly average of less than 55,000 new infections, down from more than 70,000 the previous week.
