PARIS (Reuters) – The Paris police chief issued a new ruling on Monday on the compulsory wearing of masks in public spaces after the administrative court annulled a previous text last week.
The new decree thus lists “a series of circumstances and places in which the density of the population does not guarantee, without wearing a mask, proper respect for barrier gestures”, explains the prefecture in a press release.
This list includes, among other things, markets, all gatherings of at least ten people, bus stops, areas around railway stations, entrances to shopping centers during opening hours, schools and universities during opening hours and outings or even places of worship during services.
Similar orders are taken in each of the departments of the le-de-France region, the statement said.
Thursday, the administrative court of Paris had suspended the initial judgment of the prefect of police on the obligation to wear a mask outdoors on the grounds that it violated individual freedoms.
