From 8 a.m. on Friday, August 28, it is mandatory to wear a mask throughout Paris, including outdoors. The decision to extend the obligation to all neighborhoods in the capital was announced on August 27 by Prime Minister Jean Castex during a press conference. Castex said the decision was made after a confrontation with the mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, over the new increase in infections: 6,111 cases had been found between Wednesday and Thursday, the second highest daily increase since March 30. .
Starting this Friday at 8 am, the use of a mask will be mandatory throughout Paris. I appeal to everyone’s responsibility to roll back the virus that is gaining ground in Paris and the inner suburbs. # COVID-19 # GesturesBarriers https://t.co/GZUXY2S6Ql

This morning, the Paris police said that people “who engage in physical activity such as running or cycling” will not be required to wear masks. The request for exemption had been made by the municipality of Paris, at least for the outskirts of the capital.
