This May 11 marks the beginning of deconfinement in France. Among the measures that will mark this date: the return of freedom of movement, without certification, within a radius of 100 kilometers around his place of residence.
This distance will be “calculated as the crow flies from the usual place of residence” and the limit only applies if you leave your department of residence.
But to go beyond the 100 kilometers around your home, you will need a certificate. This new document is being prepared to allow the control of this rule.
Above all professional
As explained by Christophe Castaner, this Thursday, it will therefore take a “compelling reason” to move beyond this limit. This “compelling reason” will also be necessary in Ile-de-France to have access to public transport during rush hour.
This “compelling reason” can first of all be professional. In fact, employers can issue certificates for their employees to justify a trip. In addition, the Minister of the Interior raised the case of professions “which require mobility, such as truck drivers”. “A lawyer who must go to plead,” added the Prime Minister.
Furthermore, a “compelling reason” can also be familial. Christophe Castaner evokes the case of mourning or helping to bring “to a vulnerable person”. But going to a second home, a vacation rental, or simply visiting a loved one does not fall into this category.
This measure is justified by limiting the spread of the virus, in the words of Edouard Philippe this Thursday. “We want to avoid overly massive intermingling of populations,” he said.
This Thursday, the government unveiled the new deconfinement map, with four regions still classified in “red”: Ile-de-France, Hauts-de-France, Grand Est and Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, as well as the department of Mayotte .
