A health pass to access stadiums, concerts, fairs, exhibitions … Emmanuel Macron detailed Thursday, April 29 the schedule for the lifting of restrictions in France, in which the health pass is mentioned several times. This device, which certifies that a person has been vaccinated or tested recently, has already been tested on the departure of certain flights to Corsica.
After hesitating for a long time, the French government decided to set up this system, following in the footsteps of other countries, such as Denmark, Israel or South Korea. The European Union has also planned to have its own health passport in mid-June, compatible with the one developed in France.
Simon Auffret, journalist for World, explains how this health pass works in the podcast “L’Heure du Monde”.
An episode produced by Jeanne Boëzec, directed by Amandine Robillard and presented by Morgane Tual.
