Westjet ad for a trip to Paris

"Welcome to the City of Lights, and the City of Love. Welcome to Paris, where you’ll fall head over heels for mouthwatering pastries, stunning European architecture and, of course, that dazzling Parisian charm. This year, enjoy non-stop service from Calgary on the Dreamliner or from Halifax on the 737 with convenient connections from across our network to get you from hello to bonjour in no time." I guess they photoshopped all the people out:)
I was curious about the Covid situation and brought this up: What's the Covid situation? France has been one of the hardest hit countries in Europe, with over 25.4 million cases and more than 143,000 deaths as of March 30. The emergence of the Omicron variant towards the end of 2021 brought about yet another rise in infections, with over 2,5 million infections recorded in one week towards the end of January 2022. While numbers began to decline once again in the following weeks, they are currently on the rise again. There were 935,432 cases in the week leading up to March 30. Over 154 million vaccination doses have been administered in the country as of March 30.
