French Prime Minister Castell held a press conference on the evening of the 20th to inform the latest timetable for the official response to the epidemic. According to the official arrangement, the vaccine pass measure will take effect next week to replace the current health pass, and people over the age of 16 will need to rely on a valid vaccine pass to enter catering and cultural venues, take long-distance transportation, etc.

According to the official arrangement, a short-term complete and valid vaccine pass can be obtained after completing two doses of the new crown vaccine, and the third dose of vaccination can be completed within the specified time to ensure that the vaccine pass continues to be complete and valid.

Castel said that after the vaccine pass measures take effect, people under the age of 16 will not be affected by the vaccine pass measures and will continue to travel with health passes. In addition, you only need to show your health pass to a health facility such as a hospital.

Castel stressed that the vaccine pass measure is a necessary and coherent measure to respond to the outbreak. He said that when the epidemic eases, the government will relax the epidemic prevention measures again from February, including no longer mandatory outdoor masks from February 2, and nightclubs will reopen from February 16.

France's scientific committee on the outbreak believes that the current fifth wave of the epidemic in France still has a large impact on the health care system, and this situation may continue until mid-March. (End)
