Prime Minister Jean Castex announced this Thursday, June 16, at the end of the Council of Ministers, the end of the obligation to wear a mask outdoors
throughout French territory, as well as the lifting of the curfew for Sunday.
In the streets of Chartres and Dreux, Thursday afternoon, the mask was still on the noses, not for long … Or not.
“See faces” and “breathe”
In Chartres, Nicole, 66, declares herself “delighted to kidnap it. It’s getting very hot, we sweat under the mask, it’s not pleasant. Lately, I didn’t feel like going out in town because of that ”.
Cautious, this Chartraine will “still be careful not to stand too close to other passers-by, so as not to endanger them and vice versa”. For Rudy, 54, taking the mask outside and saying goodbye to the curfew is “two great news. How nice to see people’s faces again! We will no longer have to think about schedules when going out at night. I did not believe it anymore ! ”
End of the mask outdoors, lifting of the curfew: what are the risks? And what are our neighbors doing?
If this announcement makes some people happy, it leaves some unmoved. Like Delphine, 41: “I think I will continue to wear it for a while. I am not vaccinated yet, so I prefer to be careful. In downtown Dreux, the news also seems to be well received. Some already no longer put on the mask in the street.
Kenza has just completed his last year of medical studies. She is back with her parents: “I loved studying in the open air, in the gardens and in the parks, but with the mask, it became unbearable. It’s a shame that this could not have been done before. What is good is that I will feel myself coming back to life by quietly breathing air that is less polluted than in large metropolises. “
End of the mask outside: finally the hour of the smile found
Hantz is also delighted with this announcement. He is one of the managers of the little hut, Place Métézeau, which sells pancakes, chichis and ice cream: “When the fryer is on, it’s 45 ° C, the happiness that will be when I have finished. work and that I will be able to walk around the city without a mask! “Whether blue, black or white, disposable or reusable, today, outdoors, the mask is no longer automatic.
Wearing a mask outdoors remains compulsory in certain very specific cases: queue, transport, crowded places, stadium stands, etc.
