Mandatory Outdoor Mask Wearing Reinstated in Paris, France
[Asia Economy Reporter Jeon Jin-young] The Paris Police Department announced that wearing masks outdoors will be mandatory again starting December 31. This measure comes in response to the increase in confirmed cases due to the spread of Omicron.
On the 29th (local time), the Paris Police Department stated that individuals aged 11 and older must wear masks outdoors except when riding cars, bicycles, motorcycles, or exercising.
Additionally, on January 1 and 2 of next year, drinking gatherings will only be allowed until 2 a.m., and dancing in restaurants will be prohibited. Nightclubs, which have been closed since the beginning of this month, must remain closed through January next year.
The police department plans to deploy 9,000 officers on the first day of enforcement to conduct intensive crackdowns in areas expected to be crowded with New Year's crowds.
