“Vaccination pass

Since March 14: end of the “vaccination pass” in all places where it was required (leisure and cultural places, commercial catering activities, trade fairs and exhibitions…).
However, the “health pass” remains in force in health establishments, retirement homes, and establishments for people with disabilities.

Education

Since March 14, the wearing of masks in classrooms in schools, colleges and high schools has ended. For the rest (brewing, physical and sports activities…) it is level 1 of the health protocol that continues to apply.
The baccalaureate specialty tests, scheduled from March 14 to 16, have been postponed to May 11, 12 and 13 due to the Covid-19 epidemic.

Travel

As of February 12, 2022, the following rules will apply at borders:

For travelers who are vaccinated as defined by EU regulations, no more testing will be required at departure. Proof of a complete vaccination regimen will once again be sufficient to arrive in France, regardless of the country of origin, as was the case before the spread of the Omicron variant.
For unvaccinated travelers, the obligation to present a negative test to travel to France remains, but the measures on arrival (test, isolation) are lifted when they come from countries on the “green” list, characterized by a moderate circulation of the virus.
When unvaccinated travelers come from a country on the “orange” list, they will still have to present a compelling reason justifying the need to come to metropolitan France and may still be subject to a random test upon arrival. Travelers who test positive will have to isolate themselves, in accordance with the recommendations of the Health Insurance.
