Invited from Europe 1 this morning, Olivier Véran, the Minister of Health, indicates that he has the hope of removing the masks by this summer 2021. It is one of the barrier gestures that allows us to protect from Covid-19. Therefore, lifting this restriction is not without a sine qua non condition.
The end of wearing the mask “for this summer”
In France, May 3, 2021 marks the start of progressive deconfinement. Since this date, it has been possible to move around freely in the territory during the day, without a certificate. But when will the French be able to stop applying barrier gestures and remove the mask? Olivier Véran has not yet announced an official date, “ I can’t give a date today, that wouldn’t be fair of me. “However, he hopes” truly “That the population will be able to do without the mask from here” this summer “. This exemption can only be done if the vaccination campaign continues, in particular by expanding the eligible public.
Vaccination is protection
Indeed, as explained by the Minister of Health, “Ne know that vaccination protects against serious forms and we believe that it protects well against the spread of the virus and therefore against the risk of epidemics. When enough French people will be vaccinated, we can consider lowering our guard “. A certain number of people must therefore be immunized against the coronavirus so that citizens can do without barrier gestures while having peace of mind. The government will hasten to make such an announcement, as Mr. Véran explained, “ as soon as we can meet again, calmly consider the end of barrier gestures and the end of the mask outside, we will not wait 24 hours “. And to add, “ I sincerely hope it will be this summer “. Vaccination should normally be open to everyone, without age limit, from June 15.
Wearing a mask is compulsory outside in most cities. For the moment, a person who is vaccinated must still continue to wear a mask in the presence of other people, especially fragile.
