Covid-19: health pass required in 144 shopping centers – Franceinfo

You must now have your health pass in your pocket to do your shopping in a large shopping center in Paris. As of Monday August 16, pass controls sanitary are linked to the entrance of stores of more than 20,000 square meters. 144 establishments are affected by this measure, in the south and west of France, as well as in the Paris region, in the departments where the incidence rate exceeds 200 cases per 100,000 inhabitants.

And sometimes it’s a real logistical headache. Example in a shopping arcade in Saint-Laurent-du-Var (Alpes-Maritimes), where accesses had to be blocked off and additional staff had to be called in to carry out checks. “We have recruited around forty security agents to be able to ensure fluidity at the entrance to the center “, Explain Roch-Charles Rosier, the director of the center CAP3000.

And for those who do not yet have the pass, antigenic tests, with results within 15 minutes, are sometimes available at the entrance of the shopping centers, as is the case in Antibes (Alpes-Maritimes). “I will do it as many times as it takes to be able to go about our business and leisure, as long as it’s free“says a client. Pass controls sanitary will remain in effect at least until September 15.
