VIDEO. Covid-19: the CEO of Carrefour prefers “the calculation of the gauges” to the health pass – Franceinfo

“The calculation of the gauges worked very well at a time when the risk of the Covid-19 epidemic was very high, a year ago”, estimated Alexandre Bompard, CEO of the Carrefour group, Tuesday, November 9 on franceinfo, while Emmanuel Macron is due to speak in the early evening to discuss the health situation. “I hope that it is this device, if one day there were to be again a regulation device in the shops, which will apply and not the sanitary pass”, he added.

According to him, it is better to “limit the number of customers per square meter” in shopping centers of more than 20,000 square meters, rather than resorting to the sanitary pass because he considers it “contrary to the purchasing power of households”.

“There are plenty of households who need their hypermarket, especially around Christmas time, to go shopping because we know that the prices are lower there.”

Alexandre Bompard also denounced a measure “very bureaucratic” which implies knowing that such or such shopping center is more than 20,000 square meters. “Customers were completely lost in August and last September”, he commented, considering that “this is not the right measure” in these large centers which, according to him, “allow physical distancing”.
