France to introduce anti-coronavirus pass for cafes, trains from Aug 9

29 Jul 2021 04:24AMPARIS: France will from Aug 9 enforce new legislation that will make a health pass compulsory to visit a cafe, board a plane or travel on an inter-city train, the government's spokesman said Wednesday.but the government is determined to press ahead and make the health pass a key part of the fight against COVID-19.A valid health pass is generated by two jabs from a recognised vaccine, a negative coronavirus test or a recent recovery from infection.

Attal's announcement came as data showed 50 per cent of France's adult population were now vaccinated with two jabs. The government's health pass strategy makes vaccination its number-one weapon in the fight against COVID-19.Attal stressed that there would be a degree of tolerance in the initial phase from Aug 9. Transport minister Jean-Baptiste Djebbari said authorities wanted to have"a good level of control without making the lives of travellers difficult".

He said 6,000-7,000 vaccine centres would be deployed around schools to help teenagers get their jabs.France's health authority on Wednesday approved giving the Moderna jab to 12-17 year olds, after a similar ruling on the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine in mid-June. The Council has the power to send laws back to the legislature and government for changes but the government appears confident it will receive the green light.
