Rule of 6

 

An apéro evening in early September when hopes were high that this would be over by now.

Many have been asking whether not adhering to the government "Rule of 6" carries with it a fine. Here's the rule in time for Friday night... keeping in mind that this is for the safety and health of everyone:

  Covid-19 : pas plus de six personnes “à table ou dans la rue... une recommandation plutôt qu'une obligation"

Covid-19: no more than six persons "at table or in the street... a recommendation more than an obligation" - BPJ
