Wearing the extended mask
Until then, in Moselle, wearing a mask was compulsory on the public highway in seven municipalities: Metz, Montigny-lès-Metz, Woippy, Thionville, Terville, Manom and Yutz. As well as around all the educational establishments of the department. But Laurent Touvet goes further.
