The health pass, the French equivalent of the green certification, will be valid from 15 December only after the third dose of vaccine. A rule that will apply to the over 65s, announced by Emmanuel Macron during the speech to the nation given by the Elysée. The French president said that the “boosters” are the “best solution” for the most vulnerable, and that is why it is necessary to “speed up the program” of vaccination. For this reason, the recall will also be extended to the population aged 50 to 64.
«Get vaccinated», the president said to the six million French who have not yet joined the protection campaign, adding that «We have relaxed our efforts, now we must resume them. In this context of resumption of cases, we must double our vigilance ». For this reason, “the use of masks in school will be maintained. We need to be more vigilant ».
“We will build new plants”
Macron then announced the construction of new nuclear power plants. Two thirds of the electricity produced in France comes from this energy source. “To guarantee France’s energy independence, for the first time in decades we will relaunch the construction of nuclear rectors in our country.”
