COVID-19: France To Reopen Cafes, End Domestic Travel Limit

Bars and restaurants will reopen progressively in France from June 2, as the country enters phase 2 of its novel coronavirus’ lockdown easing. CHRISTOPHE ARCHAMBAULT / AFPFrance on Thursday announced the long-awaited nationwide reopening of bars, restaurants and cafes from June 2, albeit with restrictions, and lifted limitations on domestic travel in time for the summer holidays.

“Freedom will be the rule and restriction the exception,” said Philippe, adding the country was “in a better place than where we expected to be” after the first two weeks post-lockdown. Camping sites and holiday resorts will reopen too, from June 22, and parks, gardens, beaches and lakes from next week.

Issuing an updated map of the coronavirus threat, Philippe said only the larger Paris Ile-de-France region and the overseas territories of Guiana and Mayotte remained in the higher-risk “orange” category, with the rest of the country zoned “green”.“The virus is still present to varying degrees across the territory,” the premier warned as he urged people to respect social-distancing measures and maintain a strict hand-washing regime.

Philippe announced that cinemas can open from June 22 while theatres can resume activity from next Tuesday, provided they take special care to ensure clients observe a safe distance from one another. In “green” zones of the country, gyms, swimming pools and fitness centres can reopen on June 2, and in “orange” ones three weeks later, and group sports will remain off-limits until June 21, said Philippe.Sports stadiums and large concert venues will be allowed to host no more than 5,000 guests at a time, provided special measures are put in place to keep people far enough apart.
