The French government has introduced a program called 'Health Pass' to prevent the spread of the delta type COVID virus. Accordingly, visitors to cinema theatres, tourist attractions, swimming pools and museums are required to show proof of having come across as Govt Negative or Govt Vaccine in a recent examination. If they deny showing the result, then the entry is denied too. These restrictions have annoyed people since it is currently summer vacation there.

Thus thousands of people in cities across the country, including the capital Paris, are involved in the struggle. About 3,000 guards and riot police have been deployed in Paris. The Interior Ministry says more than 2 lakh people are protesting across France. 14,250 of them were protesting in Paris.

Demonstrators on saturday called for independence against the actions of President Emmanuel Macron and called for a health pass. 3 guards were also reportedly attacked by protesters. More than 10 people have been arrested in the incident. Meanwhile, the new law was passed in the French parliament last week. The law makes vaccination mandatory for frontline workers. The health Pass has been extended to bars, restaurants, train stations, trade fairs and hospitals.
