Among the preventive measures, wearing a mask is strongly recommended when there is a high concentration of population, but also in the presence of fragile people and in the event of symptoms suggestive of Covid-19.
Vaccination is always possible with health professionals listed on sante.fr: general practitioners, pharmacists, nursing offices, vaccination centres.
The second booster dose is intended for the entire population over the age of 60, as well as pregnant women, immunocompromised people or people at risk of a severe form of Covid-19 or living in the entourage of a fragile person, as well only to health professionals or employees of the health and medico-social sector.
