France imposed a vaccination pass among its population starting this Monday in an attempt to contain the current COVID-19 wave.
The vaccination pass will therefore replace the health pass, becoming compulsory for people aged over 16 in order to access outdoor places nationwide.
The French parliament has definitively adopted the vaccine pass mandate on January 16 after several weeks of debate.
On Friday, the Constitutional Council approved this decision, in a move to curb the spread of the virus, except for political meetings, where the vaccine pass is not required.
Starting this Monday, the vaccination pass will enable to justify the vaccination status against COVID-19 among French citizens in order to have access to outdoor places, including leisure activities, restaurants, bars, and public transport, while a negative PCR test is no longer sufficient except to access health facilities and services.
The average number of new COVID-19 infections reported in France has been increasing for 7 consecutive days, with the virus at its peak, according to Reuters’ latest COVID Tracker, released this Monday.
