France to make masks compulsory in most workplaces from 1 Sept
PARIS - The French government plans to make wearing a mask compulsory in the vast majority of workplaces from Sept. 1 to try to stop a resurgence of the COVID-19 pandemic.
It also said that working from home would remain its recommended option for employees. A government official said masks at work would become mandatory from Sept. 1. Details will also be worked out for special work environments such as frozen food warehouses, where masks are not practical as they would freeze.
France imposed some of Europe's toughest lockdown restrictions earlier this year, greatly reducing the rate of coronavirus infections. But in the past few weeks the numbers of new COVID-19 cases have climbed, and public health officials have warned that contagion could spin out of control.
