This Monday in Nice, the music festival took place. The city was in celebration, bars were packed, and there was a record attendance, as observed on Monday night.
Nice was bustling on Monday night for the music festival. Both professional and amateur groups took over the streets and bars for this first event without a curfew. A feeling of “like before” was felt in Nice and throughout France.
Thousands of people were present in the city streets. The festive atmosphere was indeed there. The beaches were also “packed,” and there were numerous police and emergency services. While the atmosphere in the bars was warm, the vibe on the beaches was quite different as several fights and crowd movements occurred throughout the evening.
What can be concluded from the evening?
While the outcome for bars and restaurants was positive, from a health perspective, it wasn’t as favorable. The large number of people in the streets indeed poses a considerable risk of increasing the number of COVID-19 cases to be recorded in the coming days.
