The health situation continues to deteriorate in the Gard. The covid incidence rate now stands at 722 cases per 100,000 inhabitants in the department and hospital tension is increasing. For these reasons, the prefect of Gard has decided to make it compulsory to wear a mask outdoors in town centers of Alès, Bagnols-sur-Cèze, Beaucaire and Nîmes. This measure takes effect from tomorrow, Friday December 31 at 8 a.m. and will be maintained until February 2, 2022 inclusive.
