what precautions should be taken to vote?

The journalist and doctor Damien Mascret reacts to government recommendations for the French on voting day in the presidential election. “It is true that this may seem a little light, insufficient, because at the municipal elections, two years ago, we had seen an excess mortality proportional to the participation in the municipalities “he explains. He pursues : “This time, the situation has changed a lot. There are two reassuring elements.“ According to the doctor, first of all the population is well vaccinated in France, and then, above all, the population has now integrated the barrier gestures well.

To limit the risks, Damien Mascret considers it necessary “retain two areas particularly at risk”. The first is the queue, with people who may not have a mask on, and who may test positive without knowing it. The second risk area is the voting booth: if an infected person has been inside before, particles can remain in suspension and therefore infect the next person. The doctor and journalist recommended so wear a mask FFP2 and wash your hands before and after voting.
