PARIS: Face masks became compulsory in tourist hotspots in Paris on Monday amid warnings of a resurgence of coronavirus cases.
The requirement came as France along with much of western Europe sweltered in a heatwave, with temperatures soaring above 35 degrees Celsius.The blistering heat sent crowds flocking to beaches at the weekend despite health warnings about the risk of infection. People in Paris aged 11 and over are now required to wear the masks in crowded areas and tourist hotspots.
These include the banks of the Seine River and more than 100 streets in the French capital, including tourist destinations like Montmartre, where the Sacre Coeur basilica is located. Several French towns and cities have already introduced similar measures, as well as parts of Belgium, the Netherlands, Romania and Spain.
