France’s parliament has approved a bill that will mandate COVID-19 passes for those traveling within the country and will require health care workers to get the vaccine by mid-September, The Associated Press reported.
The bill, which was introduced six days ago, requires people to show “health passes” in order to be on planes, trains or go to restaurants and other public places. French residents have to either prove that they are vaccinated, recently recovered from the coronavirus or show a recent negative COVID-19 test, the wire service reported.
The bill currently applies to adults, but it will soon expand to residents ages 12 years and up beginning on Sept. 30.
For those working in health care, workers face suspension if they do not receive the vaccine by Sept. 15. The measures could remain effective through Nov. 15, though it will depend on the prevalence of the coronavirus in the country.
