The new health law “that puts an end to the exceptional regimes created to fight the epidemic linked to Covid-19” was validated this Saturday by the Constitutional Council, giving the death knell to two monitoring and data collection tools in around the epidemic.
One, SI-DEP, made it possible to record the results of screening tests, the second, Contact Covid, made it possible to track patients.
The end of the health pass
After several weeks of debates and disagreements, the health bill was definitively approved by the Senate last Tuesday, putting an end in particular to the mandatory health pass to enter certain public places.
On the other hand, the senators had introduced the possibility of imposing sanitary controls at the borders in the event of the appearance of a dangerous variant of Covid-19, as well as for trips abroad, in this summer period conducive to travel.
The text, largely revised by deputies, also contains the possibility of reinstating unvaccinated nursing staff as soon as there is no longer any “medical reason” to ask them for compulsory vaccination.
The opposition had initially disclosed a snub to the government, by rejecting the principle of returning the health pass to the borders and between the metropolis and Overseas and Corsica. The senators had rounded the corners by not inserting the return of the health pass at the borders, but sacralizing the principle of a test.
