An unusual crowd for the month of July.
No verbalization
The mayor of La Couarde has therefore decided to issue an order, without issuing a fine for the moment. “We can’t put an usher behind each person and say ‘move aside, there are more than ten of you‘. The safety of people prevails over the rest, we are in the order which effectively says that if the meter cannot be respected, the mask must be imposed, this is the case in the metro“, he explains.
