Life As Normal, But With Masks, All The Time!
posted (June 29, 2020)
So, as you heard, the state of emergency curfew is going away - but there will still be some strictures on social living.

And two things that will remain firmly in place under the quarantine authority - are the requirements to wear a mask in public, and to social distance. These remain the law - even after the state of emergency has been lifted.

Here's how the Attorney General put it:

Hon. Michael Peyrefitte, Attorney General
"Social distancing, we must maintain that six feet whenever we can maintain that six feet apart. There will be some exceptions but whenever we can social distant the law will require us to social distance. The second big thing is this, the mask. You must wear your mask every chance you get any time you can wear it, wear it. Especially in public you will be require for you to wear and we will be enforcing it. You see it is this, all bar can open now. All night club can open now. All shops can open now. You can go anywhere you want now. You can practically do all the legally social things that we used to do before. You can do all of them now. However, you must wear a mask and in certain circumstance you don't have to. So I don't know it will work but if somebody open their night club and party, you have to wear a mask."
