The French government adjusted its new plan to fight COVID-19 on Monday, slashing planned fines and postponing them to an unspecified date, spokesman Gabriel Attal said.

The measures, which include requiring a health pass in a wide array of venues from the start of August and making vaccination mandatory for health workers, will still account for some of the toughest in Europe.

What changes is that a planned 45,000 euro fine for businesses which do not check that clients have a health pass will be much lower, starting at up to 1,500 euros and increasing progressively for repeat offenders. He said it might be more than a week but would be less than a month, to give everyone the time to adapt to the new rules.A health pass will be required in venues including cinemas, bars, restaurants, hospitals and long-distance train and planes, a decision that led to protests at the weekend.

Three Lawmakers Who Fled Texas to Block GOP Voting Laws Test Positive for Covid-19More than 50 Democratic lawmakers and 15 to 20 staff members came from Texas, which they had fled to deny the GOP-controlled legislature the quorum needed to enact stricter voting laws. Quarantine all of them, including those they met since they left the state?! Wherever people go, they should carry a bottle of rubbing alcohol and wear mask at all times. Avoid touching anything in public, say pressing elevator buttons with a pen or something. I hope they were vaccinated.
