"How so, mandatory?" The difficult return of wearing a mask on the Côte d'Azur<

Difficult to find people aware of the return of the obligation to wear a mask this Monday morning in old Antibes.

Between the world before the prefectural decree on Sunday and the one after: not much has changed. If wearing a mask is again compulsory everywhere in the open air – with a few exceptions in natural areas – the message, this Monday morning, has not yet passed. In the streets of old Antibes, faces are mostly uncovered.

So, when we talk about the return of this measure, eyebrows frown, looks are suspicious, voices louder. "What do you mean, mandatory again?" Launches "Coco" which sums up the thought of many: "But it's too hot! It's 27 degrees. I'm thinking of my 82-year-old mum who is vaccinated, she's not really well to understand."

Yes, the return of the mask coupled with the adoption of the health pass: that's a lot. Even for those who wear it this Monday morning. "In fact I keep it on when I go from one store to another, I don't want to touch it all the time", explains Jean T. who also wonders: "That means that we risk the fine of 135 euros again?

A question that keeps coming back. What are we risking? This morning, no control in sight in the sector. "And how are they going to do at the next anti-sanitary pass demonstration?", jokes a server who "already struggles with the mask all day". For Lydia, a tourist from the Paris region, it's a bit of a cold shower: "We imagined our holidays differently... Should we then expect a curfew?"
