PARIS, July 24 (NNN-AGENCIES) — The French National Assembly has approved the government’s move to tighten coronavirus rules.
In a first reading early Friday morning, deputies approved a bill to extend the obligation to prove a negative coronavirus test, vaccination against or recovery from Covid-19.
The lawmakers also gave their approval to compulsory vaccination for health workers.
Now the Senate, the second chamber of parliament, must approve the new regulations so that proof will be required for long-distance trains, bars, restaurants and shopping centres from August.
In view of a flare-up of the coronavirus in France, President Emmanuel Macron recently announced a tightening of the current hygiene regulations in the country.
Since Wednesday, for example, a negative corona test or proof of vaccination or recovery must be shown in cinemas and museums.
Most recently, there were about 87 new infections with the coronavirus per 100,000 people in the country within one week. The Delta variant accounts for a clear majority of cases. — NNN-AGENCIES
