From My Part-Time Paris Life:
Oh boy, oh boy, fun times in France! Over 2000 new cases daily (100K+ active cases)—numbers not seen since April—with most new cases in people 25-35. And Paris is a red zone again.
Mon dieu, Lisa! Say it isn’t so.
It’s so. Social distancing is not as enforced as it once was, even on café terraces, sadly (and you’re lucky if your server is wearing their mask properly). Large groups gather at the péniches on the Seine (which Mme Mayor decided to keep open, though she herself tested positive without symptoms). And of course, with borders open, travelers from the UK and Spain—two countries where the virus is not under control—are coming here for their holidays.
Mandatory Masks in France
What to do, what to do? Well, if you’re the French government, you roll out an ordinance that masks must be worn at all times, even outside. But becauseyou’re the French government, you’ll roll that out slowly, in a very complicated manner.
The rest here...worth a read:
