France to further ease Covid restrictions this month

Rules requiring a Covid-19 vaccine passport to access venues will be lifted from this date, France 24 has reported following a televised address from prime minister Jean Castex.

Face masks will also no longer be needed indoors from March 14 but will still be required on public transport.

Since 12 February, fully vaccinated travellers from the UK have not needed to present a negative PCR or antigen test result when arriving in France, with those over 12 needing just a vaccination certificate and completion of a sworn statement.
