In a step to ease Covid-related restrictions over the next two months, the French parliament has passed a law that will end the state of health emergency on June 1 and be replaced the following day with a transitional period that will run until the end of September.

According to French Law experts, the law on exiting the state of health emergency included an article related to the introduction of a Covid-19 health pass. Also in this regard, this pass will be used to allow people in France to attend large events, such as festivals and concerts. People of France can also look forward to eating out, shopping and going to cultural events

It's worth mentioning that the current emergency state was introduced on October 17, 2020. It enables and allows the government to introduce without decrees measures such as lockdowns and travel restrictions at the local and national levels.

In the same context, the French media have reported that this law aims to end almost all aspects of the lockdown starting June 1 with the reopening of the entertainment places to in-person instruction and an end to restrictions on travel.
