PV for not wearing a mask
A message received by the prefect of Morbihan Joël Mathurin who spoke at the microphone of France Bleu. “I see the radicalization of the anti-sanitary pass movement, and what happened last Saturday is not admissible. I asked the internal security forces to protect the Christmas Market this Saturday. In addition, the rule is the same for all, we are in a state of health emergency and demonstrating or not, the wearing of the mask is obligatory. I asked the police to systematically and firmly note the non-wearing of a mask by any recalcitrant demonstrators and to draw up reports “.

The prefect is also considering the use of video surveillance to identify infractions and draw up reports.
