The day before the end of the quarantine in France, which will expire today at midnight, the Parliament agreed to extend emergency sanitary state until July 10. Among the approved measures is the expansion of the powers of the Prime Minister, tracking of patients and forced quarantine for people arriving from countries outside the EU. With details — the correspondent of “Kommersant” in France Alexey Tarhanov.In the night from 8 to 9 may, the national Assembly (the lower house of the French Parliament) adopted in first reading the government draft law on the termination of emergency sanitation provisions from July 10, 2020. Previously not without difficulty he managed to hold on first reading by the Senate. The law then returned to both houses of Parliament for final voting and was the evening of may 9, voted and accepted.The meaning of the law is to provide a quick response to changes in sanitary regulations. Releasing people to the streets, the government wants to retain the option to reverse. The Prime Minister can conduct the necessary requisition to combat the epidemic means “to restrict the right of free movement of people and transport” to establish conditions under which open or close cultural and sports institutions, enterprises, shops, churches, mosques, synagogues. Such measures, it was decided to make provision in connection with the emergence of new foci of infection, like recently revealed in the town of église-Neuve-de-Verge of the Dordogne. After the Church service and the funeral of a local resident, 127 people were screened for coronavirus and nine of them were infected.To read nextto minimize the damage in such situations, introduce a system of tracking patients and their contacts. The promised e-app for phones StopCovid that would do that in the automatic mode, not ready, besides even the shadow computer spying scares the French. So it will take the agents Securite sociale — system of insurance of health. They get information about treatment and health status of the population, which is wholly owned this system covered, now they will have to conduct a real investigation in the environment of the patient. Parliament has accepted that this will require violations of medical mysteries, as such measures will only be accepted in relation to СOVID-19 and for not more than three months — after that data is erased from the dossier Securite sociale.Forced quarantine is introduced for people entering France from outside the EU and even to the French, visit the French overseas territories. Agreed that in Europe for its residents (not necessarily citizens), including those who came from outside the EU the UK or Switzerland, such measures will not be applied. Karantin should not exceed 14 days and may be appealed in court.The state of emergency changes the rules of use of means of transport. On the eve of the state Railways company SNCF sent out to all potential passengers clarification on the new procedure of purchasing tickets and access to trains. Commuter trains with free Seating now introduces special coupons for places that need to be obtained before payment of the ticket. Becomes mandatory wearing of masks. In order to monitor the implementation of these rules, expanding the powers of workers and security service of the SNCF.This is due to the fact that many individuals, associations and companies intended to apply to the court in connection with the limitation of their rights and the losses incurred. They are ready to blame the mayors, prefects and heads of enterprises to criminal errors and ignorance of the rules of safety or, conversely, overly strict their use. Here, Parliament agreed to the following position. Officials can be prosecuted under the law for negligence, negligence or deliberately harmful acts, but they are innocent, if acted according to instructions of the Central government or on the basis of established safety rules. For example, many municipalities seem to have exceeded its authority by mandating the wearing of masks or curfew. And it happened that the government criticized these measures were abolished, but after some time recognized their usefulness, and follow the example of the local authorities.Decided that in such cases, the mayors are not to blame, and they will not be judged in hindsight or for the compulsory wearing of masks, or in their absence, nor for the schools of the Central government.
