Thousands protest new health measures in Paris

Thousands of people assembled in Paris on Saturday to oppose new measures the government has introduced to avoid the further spread of COVID-19.

The current rules require persons going to museums, theatres, cinemas, festivals, concerts, and amusement parks a health pass that reveals they have either been vaccinated against coronavirus or tested negative for the disease. Starting from next week, the order will also include restaurants, bars, shopping centres, and travelling by aeroplanes or long-distance trains.

The police and protestors clashed at the marches against new health measures.

The law forces had to use tear gas and water cannons to fight off groups of demonstrators.
