Why wear a mask

If used correctly, masks prevent viral particles from being thrown into the air, like a shield . If a person is sick, even if they have no symptoms, the mask will block the projection of sputter when they speak, sneeze or cough.

The mask also offers protection for the person wearing it, by acting as a mechanical barrier against viral projections.

Wearing a mask is made compulsory outdoors by prefectural decision. This decision takes local circumstances into account to be proportionate to the risks. In the current context of active circulation of the virus and in particular of the Omicron variant, all barrier gestures must be reinforced.
