法国规定封闭公共场所必须戴口罩，否则罚款135欧元

在新冠肺炎疫情再次暴发之际，法国规定民众在所有封闭公共场所必须戴口罩。任何没有戴口罩的人将被罚款135欧元（约合人民币1079元）。

France has made face masks compulsory¹ in all enclosed public spaces amid a fresh bout² of Covid-19 outbreaks.

 

Masks were already mandatory³ on public transport, but from Monday they must also be worn in places like shops.

 

Health Minister Oliver Véran warned that France had between "400 and 500 active clusters" of the virus.

 

President Emmanuel Macron declared a "first victory" over the virus in June and has ended the national state of emergency, but local outbreaks remain.

 

There are a rising number of cases in the north-west and in eastern regions, in particular in the north-western department of Mayenne.

 

France, one of Europe's hardest-hit countries, has recorded more than 200,000 infections and over 30,000 deaths since the start of the pandemic.

 

Face masks are now compulsory in all enclosed public spaces, including shops where previously⁴ owners were able to decide themselves whether customers should wear coverings or not. Anyone caught without a mask faces a fine of €135.

 

Authorities in Mayenne began calling for mandatory mask restrictions⁵ last week as cases soared in the department.

 

Public health agency Santé Publique France issued a warning for Mayenne after it passed the alert threshold of 50 new cases per 100,000 inhabitants in a week. Across France as a whole, that figure is about 10 per 100,000 inhabitants.
