Deconfinement. Should we make the mask mandatory in shops?

The Prime Minister, Édouard Philippe, will decide on Monday 25 May the question of the reopening of bars and restaurants. Will he discuss other topics related to deconfinement ? Probably. It is in this context that the letter sent to him this weekend by thirty deputies of his majority, on the initiative of the Morbihan woman Nicole Le Peih, fits in. They rely on the decision announced on April 28 making it mandatory to wear a mask in transport to request that the measure be extended to food stores.

“Leaving containment increases the crowds, and consumers find themselves more exposed. “ The goal is simple: “Protect all consumers and employees in the sector. “

Convinced and refractory

Even if most of the traders seem to have grasped the issue well and are only walking behind the scenes in their shops, resistance persists on the customer side. “At my house, we’ve been wearing it for four weeks, advances Emmanuel Armenoult, cheese maker in Cherbourg (Manche). We asked ourselves the question of requiring the wearing of the mask of all our customers. We decided not, because not everyone had it. But some customers have asked me why we accept those who do not. In fact, it should be imposed on everyone, all the time. “

A man, face uncovered, presents himself. “I don’t have a mask, can I come in?” “ Affirmative answer. At least he had the delicacy of not imposing anything.

A duly protected couple arrives. She : “Forcing everyone would be a good thing. Wearing a mask is above all about protecting others. “ Structured speech by a connoisseur: ?” I am a doctor. Let people not endanger health professionals and avoid ending up in a sheave! “

Then between an incurable refractory, bushy mop: “I did not go to the hairdresser and I will not go, because he forces me to hide myself. To buy food, it will be the same. And if they insist, I’ll go abroad … “

He is the only one questioned on the subject to have been so reluctant. A glance at the neighboring caterer or at the fishmonger opposite shows that the wearing of the mask is becoming more widespread. But in the aisles of supermarkets, caution seems less appropriate than in local shops …
