Paris: Restaurant owners and French workers are just about to worry about anyone about Coronavirus – but they are also worried that the Covid Pass must just turn it into a copy of the virus instead of supplier of culinary pleasure.
Starting next month, all visitors in France must show permits that prove that they are fully vaccinated, or recently tested negatively or recovered from viruses.
For restaurants – seen as a source of French life, this new rule presents other headaches after punishing pandemics.
“Our work used to ensure that our guests had fun when they were with us.
Now, we spend our time reprimand them.
We are not trained for this,” said Louis Le Mahieu, a Parisian restaurant manager.
Les Bancs Publics.
Les Bancs Publics sits on the corner of the road in the canal leading to the northeast Paris, a popular environment with young people gathering in many cafes or on the edge of the canal, drink and listen to music.
Vivid Street Art live in the environment, and there is a nearby pop-up vaccination booking room, next to Paris Plage, an annual summer beach project.
Like other restaurants in a crowded area, Le Bancs Publics has struggled to respect the rules of the virus from France.
This is one of the hundreds of Paris places closed because they do not respect the limits of visitors since the French restaurant reopened in May for the first time in almost seven months.
So the leaves of bright colored metal windows are pulled and no visitors are insight.
The cafe owner and bar are worried they will face more problems when Covid Pass becomes mandatory.
The draft laws that prepare Covid pass requirements for restaurants, shopping centers, hospitals, trains and planes predict a fine of 45,000 euros ($ 53,250) for violations – which can be fatal for small businesses that have struggled economically after pandemic losses.
For Gauthier Max, the owners of the nearest Mama Kin, restaurants, and bars are no longer a vacation spot but have become an obstacle and limit space.
“We effectively become police,” he said.
Various customer crowds will usually stand outside Kin Mama with drinks and cigarettes and socialize inside, but also closed while this week for virus violations.
The collective owner of an angry restaurant is scheduled to meet Thursday with the regional police chief to discuss the challenges of the virus and try to find a solution, Max said.
Trade unions have pushed back on new pass requirements, as well as protesters in demonstrations in Paris and other cities around France on Wednesday.
Tourists are also confused about how they can get a Covid trajectory before they come into force next month; The government promises immediately answer.
Quoting a resurrection infection throughout the country, President Emmanuel Macron and his government said the Covid Track was the only way to keep the hospital so that it was not overwhelmed again – and to avoid more difficult steps such as new locking.
With health rules change quickly, many restaurant owners say they struggle to track.
Mahieu said even police officers he asked on the road did not always know the latest rules.
He said he would observe new health rules, but warned they could pay new costs and lower returns.
“We may need one employee to be allocated for it full of time, and a security guard to manage dissatisfied people we have to turn away,” he told the Associated Press.
“We will be trapped between stones and a difficult place.” Many restaurant owners understand the need for virus control and want to avoid more difficult steps.
“I am very pro-vaccine and find a health pass into a good idea and a very reasonable size.
Another mandatory vaccine in France today,” said Christine Boudon, owner of La Fontaine de Mars near the Eiffel Tower, one of the oldest restaurants of Paris.
“However, it may be difficult for us to take effect.
Check the health trajectory of the client is a bit similar to the police work.
Only the most senior staff here can do this task.
We are not a virus police, the French cafe says the new Covid pass
