France will not impose quarantine on “anyone, whatever their nationality, from the European Union, the Schengen area or the United Kingdom“announced the Elysee on Sunday. The day before, the Minister of Health Olivier Véran had affirmed that the quarantine measures, envisaged in the bill of extension of the state of health emergency, would apply”to people entering the national territory or arriving in an overseas territory“.
For other cases, like that of French or Europeans arriving from a zone other than the EU, the Schengen area or the United Kingdom, “the terms and conditions will be specified by the Quai d’Orsay in the coming days“added the Elysee. The government decided on Saturday to extend for two months, until July 24, the state of health emergency against the Covid-19 and clarified a little the framework of the deconfinement planned from May 11, in particular on the follow-up of the patients.
With further easing planned for the beginning of the week in fifteen countries, Europe is starting to deconfinite its populations, like Italy, cloistered for two months by the pandemic and which awaits with feverishness the partial lifting of restrictions Monday.
