On New Year’s Eve, fireworks and meetings will not be allowed on public roads.
The French Government has banned meetings in public streets on New Year’s Eve and has speeded up the vaccination with the third dose to contain the infections of the omicron variant.
The Prime Minister of France, Jean Castex, announced this Friday, within the framework of the Health Defense Council, that fireworks or meetings on public roads will not be allowed in the New Year due to the coronavirus, according to information collected by the French newspaper ‘Le monde’.
“Meetings and alcohol consumption on public roads will be prohibited and we will invite municipalities to renounce fireworks,” Castex has detailed. In his opinion “the fewer we are, the less risks we will run.”
He has also advocated promoting vaccination and for this, the health card will become a “vaccination card” at the beginning of 2022, specifying that a bill in this regard will be presented in Parliament at the beginning of next year.
Next week a preliminary consultation will begin on this legislative project and on “any other useful provision to extend vaccination as far as possible,” said Castex.
So far, France has registered 240 cases of omicron and is facing a fifth wave of infections a few days before the Christmas holidays.
