The French Prime Minister, Élisabeth Borne, has dispelled the rumors and doubts about the mask in the French State on Wednesday. Its use will not be mandatory, but optional. In view of the covid-19 data, the debate has been latent, since the health minister, François Braun, has not wanted to rule out this possibility up to now.

105,000 new positives have been detected in the last 24 hours in France, and many consider the state to be immersed in the ninth wave of covid-19. Hospitalizations have increased by 24% and deaths by 22%, with an average of 72 daily deaths from this disease in the country.

With these data on the table, the debate on the coercion of the kiss has been current in recent times in the country. But today, like other ministers, Borne has ruled out that possibility. “We don’t have to always prohibit or impose,” he said. “The government also believes in the personal responsibility of the French,” he pointed out. He recalls that there are now masks, vaccines and tests, and that they are available to the public to reduce contagion.

Nowadays, the mask is not mandatory neither to enter public transport nor in pharmacies. She only volunteers in hospitals, consultations and nursing homes.
