France s government has temporarily called off a debate on a draft law that drew angry protests from opposition lawmakers on Tuesday for a measure that could see public transit refused to people who do not take preventative treatment against the Covid-19.
The government presented its bill as a way of providing legal framework for dealing with health crises, including the current coronavirus pandemic.
According to the text, a negative Covid-19 test or proof of “preventative treatment, including the administration of a vaccine” could be required for “access to transport or to some locations, as well as certain activities”.
