Breaking: Masks now required outdoors in Paris
Due to a spike in new COVID-19 cases across Paris, face masks are now required in certain outdoor spaces following an order issued by the Paris Police Prefecture on Nov. 26.
The police order requires people to wear masks outside in many public spaces, even just waiting in line, including entering markets, schools/universities, places of worship, and venues for festivals and shows.
“The rate incidence, which was between 50 and 100 cases per 100,000 inhabitants in October, has sharply increased over the past week to 266 cases,” the police said in a press release and on Twitter.
The outdoor mask mandate rolls back the French government’s decision to remove outdoor COVID-19 protocols this summer, including requiring that face masks be worn outside, despite the lack of scientific evidence suggesting that the coronavirus spreads outdoors.
