Sputnik is live from outside the National Assembly in Paris where protesters are rallying against newly-imposed COVID-19 restrictions announced by President Emmanuel Macron.
Macron previously ordered all health workers to get vaccinated by mid-September, while also introducing so-called “health passports” for regular citizens if they wish to visit leisure and culture venues.
Starting from August, bars, restaurants, hospitals, and long-distance travel by train will also require health passports. In September, French citizens will be billed if they want to take a PCR test, unless it's prescribed by a doctor.
