In Ardèche, the department most affected by the circulation of Covid-19, the police are on the lookout and are stepping up the checks of health passes.
In the town of Privas, in Ardèche, health pass checks are increasing in catering establishments. Surprise checks, with compulsory presentation of proof of identity in order to avoid any fraud. The practices of the police do not shock the inhabitants, who feel, on the contrary, reassured. “They should check even more often, because people are not doing what they have to do”, says a customer of a restaurant.
The police also check that restaurant owners and establishment owners apply the health pass, by checking their count of validated passes within one day. One of them has been checked almost eight times, without disturbing its owner, who is firm in the face of people without a pass. “Every day, there are some who try to come without a pass”, testifies Aurélien Vinson. The police also do prevention for the population, recalling the rules to confirm their identity and avoid any offense.
