“The health indicators for the Alpes-Maritimes department remain extremely concerning.

The next steps are a series of measures: a health pass will be mandatory for access to shopping centers larger than 20,000 m²*, prohibition of alcohol consumption in public spaces and amplified music activities.
Finally, the requirement to wear a mask will be extended to establishments, places, and events where access is subject to the presentation of a health pass, starting Monday, August 16, 2021.
One can imagine the delight of the anti-vaxxers who will be protesting this Saturday.
