The Constitutional Council on Friday validated most of the provisions of the controversial bill establishing the vaccination pass, including possible identity checks by cafetiers or restaurateurs, in the name of the objective of “health protection” in the face of the Covid-19 epidemic. The Elders, who had been seized by the opposition, however censored the possibility for the organizers of political rallies to request a health pass from participants. The organizers may, however, take “all useful health precautionary measures, such as limiting the number of participants, the distribution of masks or the ventilation of the rooms”, says a statement.
The vaccination pass will therefore come into force on Monday, January 24, for all French people over the age of 16. He could be suspended in the coming weeks if the situation improves, Jean Castex said on Thursday.
