The prefect of the Gard has decided to make it compulsory, until 2 February 2022 inclusive, for anyone aged eleven or over to wear a mask outdoors, on the public highway and in places open to the public, when circulating or accessing places with a high density of people, when the inter-individual distance cannot be respected.
This includes
- open-air food and non-food markets, including Christmas markets, flea markets and garage sales, fairs and funfairs, and unpacking sales;
- all public gatherings that generate a large number of people, including the public street events mentioned in Article L. 211-1 of the Internal Security Code, festivals, open-air concerts and open-air sporting events;
- public transport waiting areas (bus shelters, airport terminals, station platforms, tramway platforms);
- spaces and queues outside establishments open to the public
The wearing of a mask is compulsory for all persons aged eleven or over, in establishments open to the public, as regards their interior and exterior spaces, as well as in public transport and in professional vehicles bringing together several people.
Since 24 January 2022, the "vaccination pass" has been in force for people aged 16 and over. It consists of the presentation of one of these three proofs:
- certification of vaccination (complete vaccination schedule, booster dose included within the time limit for eligible persons from 18 years and 1 month);
- certificate of recovery of more than 11 days and less than six months;
- certificate of contraindication to vaccination
A derogation allowing the use of a negative test certificate less than 24 hours old within the framework of the "vaccination pass" is possible until 15 February for people who have received their first dose of vaccine by then, while waiting for their second dose.
Vaccination is open to all children aged 5-11 years and requires the agreement of both parents.
Tests
A PCR test is no longer required to confirm a positive antigen test.
However, a PCR test is still required after a positive self-test.
The presentation of a negative covid test is no longer valid to allow access to places and buildings subject to the pass.
Cultural facilities
From 30 September, the health pass is compulsory for minors aged between 12 years and 2 months and 17 years.
The application of the health pass becomes effective from the first visitor.
The health pass is compulsory in places of culture, leisure and establishments receiving the public with more than 50 people.
To gain access to these places, people over 12 years and 2 months old must present proof of non-contamination with Covid: certificate of complete vaccination, negative RT-PCR or antigenic test less than 72 hours old, result of a positive RT-PCR test, at least 11 days old and less than 6 months old, attesting to the recovery of Covid. It can be presented in paper or digital format using the Tousanticovid application.
