The prefecture recalls that “this provision does not call into question all the preventive measures” and ensures that “of course, if the health situation were to develop unfavorably, an order prescribing the implementation of the health pass will be taken again” .
In Loire-Atlantique, where the contamination rate is 149 per 100,000 inhabitants, the health pass will no longer be compulsory in the major shopping centers of the department, announced the prefecture in application of the trigger threshold of 200 decided on Wednesday in the Council of defense. In the department, the obligation of the health pass applied since Monday.
“In application of this decision (of the Defense Council) the health pass will therefore no longer be requested in the 6 largest shopping centers in the department”, state services in Loire-Atlantique indicate in a press release.

The government decided on Wednesday to tighten the sanitary screw to fight against the increase in Covid cases, in particular the compulsory health pass in large shopping centers in the departments where the incidence rate exceeds 200 per 100,000.
In these departments – around thirty, mostly in the southern half of the country – the prefects will have to make the health pass compulsory in shopping centers of more than 20,000 m2, said government spokesman Gabriel Attal.
