To follow up on the state of health emergency regime which will end on July 31, a new bill maintaining vaccination and establishing the establishment of a health pass at the borders in case of necessity will be voted on.

On Monday July 11, a new health security bill was submitted to the National Assembly. It follows the state of health emergency regime. “The state of health emergency regime ends on July 31. The new text is intended to take over. This time, no compulsory mask wearing, no vaccination pass to access certain places or gatherings. But the bill contains two main measures to curb the epidemic: first, the maintenance of the computer system that centralizes data on screening and vaccination, and the second measure, the establishment of a health pass at the borders if the situation must have demanded it”explains Christelle Meral, journalist in the political service of franceinfo.

These new measures are already controversial. “For this health pass applicable for those over 12, travel between mainland France and overseas territories would be concerned. To leave France, it would then be necessary to have a negative test, a certificate of recovery or even a proof of vaccination. Some deputies denounce a stigmatization of overseas. More generally, the National Rally and France insubordinate have castigated the health policy of the government “, she continues. This text is put to the vote as the epidemic starts again for a seventh wave. “There are currently around 122,000 contaminations per day and 1,350 daily hospitalizations. According to the Pasteur Institute, hospitalizations should continue to increase with around 1,700 admissions per day within a week”concludes Christelle Meral.
