Regarding life in business, the Ministry of Labor and that of Solidarity and Health are looking into the simplification of the national health protocol, as requested by the Medef and the CPME in particular in mid-June.
From a general point of view, the main restrictions still in force should be lifted on July 11, when the state of health emergency comes to an end. Thus, the stadiums and racetracks will reopen to the public, and will accommodate a maximum of 5,000 people.
Nevertheless, all activities involving more than 1,500 must be declared, “so that compliance with the necessary precautions can be guaranteed”. In addition, river cruises will again be authorized. On the other hand, the question of sea cruises between European ports has yet to be decided.
