VSHow to revive the economy while preserving public health? French Prime Minister Edouard Philippe presented his plan this Tuesday afternoon to deputies on his plan to restart the country in stages from May 11, while the epidemic continues to slow without having been stopped by 43 days of confinement.

Deconfinement in France: what we know

All “events that bring together more than 5,000 participants” cannot “be held before September,” said Edouard Philippe.

This measure concerns “major sporting and cultural events, in particular festivals, major trade fairs, all events which bring together more than 5,000 participants and are therefore the subject of a declaration at the prefecture and must be organized for a long time “advance”, detailed the Prime Minister.

Large museums, cinemas, concert halls and theaters will remain closed after May 11, unlike media libraries, libraries and small museums that may reopen, the Prime Minister announced.

Partial reopening of parks and gardens

“Because they can function more easily while respecting the sanitary rules, the media libraries, libraries and small museums, so important for the cultural life of our territories, will be able to reopen their doors as of May 11”, but on the contrary, the large museums, which attract a large number of visitors outside their living area, cinemas, theaters and concert halls, where one stays in the same place in a closed environment, will not be able to reopen, he said. He specifies.

Edouard Philippe announced Tuesday that the beaches, closed since the beginning of containment, will remain “inaccessible to the public at least until June 1”.

He also indicated, before the deputies, that the parks and gardens “can only open in the departments where the virus does not circulate in an active way”.
