France eases restrictions to access restaurants, bars, gyms | Video

Paris (France), Jan 24 (EFE) - (Camera: José Manzaneque) As of Monday, those looking to access restaurants, bars, or gyms in France will have to have a coronavirus vaccine. The new law of the vaccination pass is yet another challenge for a sector so punished during the health crisis.

However, managers haven't reported any special changes or problems during the first hours since the law came into force, approved a week ago after a tortuous legislative path.

1.- Nicolas Ferrara, manager of the Neo Ness Bourse gym.

-In our club there have been no suspicious customers (to the vaccination pass); on the contrary, the members understand it completely, we do our job and we comply with what the Government asks us to do.

-There are some customers who resist, but they end up understanding it because we (the gyms) are not the ones who impose it.

Bruno Truel, manager of Nutbar.

-We have to do it, but most of the people who come here are regular customers and I don't ask them for their ID cards.

-It follows the same procedure (as for the health pass), people show their code, we scan it and if the green light comes on, they can enter.
