HHHi all,
The keen eyed Heavy Pants saw the following on the Rivier Radio website
Young adults - Coronavirus infection rates in people aged 20-29 in the Alpes
Maritimes are exploding. The latest data published by the French covid-tracker
website (
[www.covidtracker.fr](http://link.i2n.link/lnk/AUoAADXqeX8AAcsjZKwAAKne-zcAAYCqXGQAJDWaAAd8HABg_78NvCM2e6OdQZO-tKB_k_oWVAAB5wo/8/tNA8mfR5Wt63oRWu3H2ekA/aHR0cDovL3d3dy5jb3ZpZHRyYWNrZXIuZnIv)
) shows the infection rate in that age group running at 1866 cases per 100,000
people, more than 7 times the maximum public health alert of 250. Cases are
rising across all age groups but it’s the 20-29 year old bracket that is
causing the most concern. The prefect of the Alpes Maritimes has now introduced
a complete ban on the consumption of alcohol in any public outdoor space until
the 16th of August as authorities seek to find ways to slow the spread of the
delta variant among young people. Meanwhile the general infection rate in the
Alpes Maritimes now stands at 523 per 100,000 people, the third highest level
of any French department.
Masks - The prefect of the Alpes Maritimes has reminded the public that mask
wearing is now mandatory in most outside areas across the department with the
exception of beaches and big parks. Reports say that many people are not yet
complying with the renewed regulations with some saying they weren’t aware of
the change and others saying that it’s too hot to wear a mask. So far, police
have been lenient and only reminding offenders that they must mask up outside
but fines of 135 euros are available to authorities for non compliance.
We will obviously take this into account on the next Hash which hopefully won't
be in the centre of Nice :)
OnOn!
