PARIS (Reuters) -The French parliament on Monday approved a bill which will make COVID-19 vaccinations mandatory for health workers as well as require a bolstered health pass in a wide array of social venues as France battles with a fourth wave of coronavirus infections.<\/p>\n

Visitors heading to museums, cinemas or swimming pools in France are already denied entry if they cannot produce a pass showing that they have been vaccinated against COVID-19 or have had a recent negative test. The pass has been required for large-scale festivals or to go clubbing.<\/p>\n

From the start of August, the pass will further be needed to enter restaurants and bars and for long-distance train and plane journeys.<\/p>\n

The measures contained in the bill are due to end on Nov. 15. A final green light from the constitutional court, the nation\u2019s top jurisdiction, will be needed before the law can come into effect.<\/p>\n

From around 4,000 new cases a day at the start of July, daily infections in France have gradually increased, topping 22,000 last week, with hospitalizations also on the rise.<\/p>\n

Like many other countries across Europe, France is dealing with the highly contagious Delta variant, first identified in India, which is threatening to prolong the pandemic and derail economic recovery.<\/p>\n

Authorities are stepping up efforts to facilitate mass vaccination and are ramping up outreach to those who have not made appointments.<\/p>\n

As of Sunday, 49.3% of France\u2019s 67 million population had received two doses – or one single-shot – of a COVID-19 vaccine, still far from any threshold some experts say could help largely curb COVID-19 transmission, a mechanism called \u201cherd immunity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Experts of the country\u2019s Institut Pasteur said earlier this year a total easing of restrictions in the country could be envisaged without epidemic resurgence if more than 90% of adults received a vaccine.<\/p>\n
