New rules came into force in France requiring people to be vaccinated against Covid-19 to enter bars, restaurants, trains and planes, after a fierce fight over details of the law in parliament.

A negative coronavirus test will no longer be enough to access leisure activities, some work events and long-distance travel, according to AFP.

The pass would “protect all those who host the public, because it prevents infections and allows them to stay open,” Economy Minister Bruno Le Maire told Franceinfo radio. “Individual responsibility is the best protection against the virus,” he added.
