French lawmakers approve bill to tackle fourth wave of coronavirus

Visitors heading to museums, cinemas or swimming pools in France are already denied entry if they cannot produce a pass showing that they have been vaccinated against COVID-19 or have had a recent negative test. The pass has been required for large-scale festivals or to go clubbing.

The measures contained in the bill are due to end on Nov. 15. A final green light from the constitutional court, the nation's top jurisdiction, will be needed before the law can come into effect. Like many other countries across Europe, France is dealing with the highly contagious Delta variant, first identified in India, which is threatening to prolong the pandemic and derail economic recovery.

As of Sunday, 49.3% of France's 67 million population had received two doses - or one single-shot - of a COVID-19 vaccine, still far from any threshold some experts say could help largely curb COVID-19 transmission, a mechanism called "herd immunity."

Tackle. Funny.
