No longer eating on the train, no longer drinking standing at the bar, doing three days of telework per week … On this January 3, we are not making the list of good resolutions but that of new health measures that come into force, and which do not always seem to convince those concerned.
It is above all the new health protocol, unveiled in the press yesterday by Olivier Véran and Jean-Michel Blanquer, which seems to leave many French people wary: “it changes as often as the stock market price!” a parent of a pupil is indignant.
And while the new measures are taking hold in the daily life of the French, the deputies are looking at the next step: the National Assembly has started examining the health bill, which should replace the health pass with a vaccination pass. The measure, which will come into force on January 15 if it is validated by Parliament, provides in particular to strengthen controls to fight against fraud. Since the summer, 182,000 fake health passes have been identified by the police. Romane Brisard, reporter at Quart d’Heure, was able to get in touch with a forger motivated by “the bait of gain” despite the risks involved.
Meanwhile in China, the authorities are doing everything to ensure that the health crisis does not spoil (too much) the Winter Olympics which will open in a month. Risks of contamination, diplomatic boycott, lack of snow … we take stock of the multiple obstacles that stand on the road to the Olympics with Sébastien Berriot, Radio France correspondent in Beijing.
