People in France will risk a fine of $154 starting Monday for failure to comply with a new decree to wear a mask in public places indoors, AFP reported.

Masks are already required on public transport, punishable with a fine of the same amount, in a country that has lost over 30,150 people to the epidemic.

The health minister said the new obligation will enter into force on Monday and will apply to shops and supermarkets, covered fresh produce markets, banks and other establishments that receive members of the public.
