Will the mask become mandatory outdoors again? Should we expect the return of the curfew? New restrictions should be announced by the prefect this Friday in the Pyrénées-Orientales. With a incidence rate at 210, the department is the first in France to exceed the alert threshold set by Emmanuel Macron.
For the record, during his televised address Monday evening, the Head of State had set at 200 the level of incidence above which territorialized restrictions could be decided. Provided that this outbreak of cases is accompanied by the beginning of a hospital wave.
During a trip this Thursday to a vaccination center in Savoie, the Minister of Health Olivier Véran spoke of the situation in the Pyrénées-Orientales: “The situation is starting to alert us: we are at more than 400% of contamination in one week.“
Return of the mask outdoors?
Questioned by France Bleu Roussillon this Thursday evening, the prefect of the Pyrénées-Orientales confirms that announcements should be made “from this Friday”, but did not wish to detail the avenues currently under study. According to our information, the return of the obligatory mask outdoors is one of the avenues envisaged. According to our colleagues from BFM, the government is also considering lowering the gauges or the resumption of teleworking.
