This deadline of July 31, 2022 is contested by all the oppositions. Elected officials from both right and left criticize a “blank check”, in a “state of exception” who becomes “Standard”, with a country which for the last six years has lived more than three years under various states of emergency, between the attacks and the health crisis.
At the start of the debates on this text of “health vigilance”, Tuesday evening, Olivier Véran had called for “not to disarm us even when the virus would show signs of weakness, to remain vigilant, actors, active so as not to leave the slightest hold to the virus”. The Minister of Health stressed that the law will only allow “if the situation requires it” to maintain the health pass until July 31 or “trigger the state of emergency”, while mainland France is currently living under a transitional regime to end the health emergency. Corn “the prospect of lightening the pass” remains and will be “examined in mid-November”.
