Following the Council of Ministers, the Minister of Health, Olivier Véran, announced this Wednesday, May 11, 2022, that the improvement in the health situation allows the government to lift the mask mandate on public transport starting this Monday, May 16.
The constantly improving health situation allows us to lift the mask mandate in all forms of transport, starting Monday. It is still recommended, especially for vulnerable people.

Thus, it will be possible for everyone to take the subway, bus, train, planes, and taxis without a mask, something that has not been possible since the beginning of the pandemic.
It is nevertheless emphasized that the pandemic is not over and that preventive measures should be applied. Masks are also recommended for vulnerable individuals and the elderly.
