According to AFP, masks will no longer be required to be worn outdoors, and audience capacity limits for events such as football matches and concerts had been relaxed from 2,000 people to 5,000 people.

Working from home is also no longer mandatory, although the French authorities are recommending it still.

The Prime Minister of France, Jean Castex, said that they could make this move because of their vaccination pass, where the public is required to present proof of vaccination in order to enter places such as restaurants and public transport.

They have also removed the use of a negative Covid test as a means of entry to get more people to get jabbed.

Another stage of restriction easements will be due to take place on 16 February, where establishments such as nightclubs will be reopening.

The French government is viewing the Omicron variant as less dangerous than previous variants, and a spokesperson said that while the average number of infections has been falling, they remain cautious over the emergence of the Omicron sub-variant.
