The establishment of a new confinement in 16 departments will again restrict the movements of more than 21 million French people who will have to have a certificate to leave their homes.
Never two without three. Five months after the last confinement, 21 million French people will be confined again from midnight tonight. If the rules have been greatly relaxed compared to the first two confinements in March and November, this new confinement does not derogate from the rule of the derogatory certificate to justify leaving the home. Travel therefore remains authorized during the day on the condition of having a valid reason and having with you the precious sesame which you will have to get back into the habit of filling before you can leave.
But this new confinement does not put an end to the curfew which remains in place, but has been postponed from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. Again, if you plan to travel during this time slot, the travel certificate will be essential. Even if this is almost absurd during the day, given the very great flexibility of the new rules put in place by the Government (no more time limit for walking), the non-presentation of a travel certificate in the event of a control by the police will be punished with a fine of 135 euros.
Better to waste a few seconds filling it before going out. And you have three possibilities for that.
