Reluctant French get Covid vaccination as health pass closes doors

PARIS: Reluctant French people lined up to get vaccinated as authorities were set to get tougher on the mandatory health pass for entering restaurants, trains and public places.

From this week, citizens have been required to show the pass in public places, proving that they have been vaccinated or have recently been tested negative for the coronavirus. While police had instructions to be lenient the first week, the government has vowed to get tougher on health pass checks from next week.
