Events & Passes – More than 100,000 people protested in Paris on Saturday against the government’s move. “We selected the health pass and then the vaccination pass, and we confirm it,” Atal said. Currently people in France are required to show proof or negative test of vaccination to access restaurants and bars or to use intercity trains, but as the number of cases has increased, Parliament is debating whether to waive the tests.

No liability – “After the announcement of the health pass, 12 million French people went to get vaccinated,” he recalled, “when we announced that the health card would be converted into a vaccination card, we saw a new increase.” Atal reiterated that the compulsory vaccination strategy was “not very effective” and that “we have not seen a sharp increase in vaccinations as has happened in France” in selected countries.

Infection decline in Great Britain – In Great Britain, meanwhile, the number of infections continues to fall for the fifth day in a row after rising above 200,000 on Tuesday. There are 141,472 new cases, about 5,000 less than on Saturday. According to the London Health Authority’s Bulletin, the number of deaths in the last 24 hours was 97, down from 313 yesterday.
