Reassure business leaders
Faced with the concern raised by this announcement, the Minister insisted on being reassuring: “Business leaders have concerns, I want to reassure them: we will show understanding.”
The Minister also insisted on the fact that:
The danger for companies is not the health pass but the specter of confinement. Presenting a QR code only takes a few seconds and it protects against the risk of contamination.
It is essential protection, in particular for tourist and leisure activities during the summer season (…) We have planned a review clause to take stock of the resumption of activity in these sectors “.
