巴黎大区8月8日宣布，自8月10日上午起，法国巴黎及其周边地区11岁及以上人群在人员密集区域须佩戴口罩。许多法国城市已规定人们在户外场所必须佩戴口罩。

Masks will be compulsory for people aged 11 and over in crowded areas in Ile-de-France - Paris and its surrounding areas, starting from Monday morning, the prefecture announced on Saturday. 

 

"All the indicators show that since mid-July the coronavirus is again circulating more actively in the region," stated the prefecture, adding that this order will remain in place for one month. 

 

Many French cities have already imposed mask wearing in outdoor places. 

 

Anyone who refuses to comply with the rule will pay a fine of 135 euros. 

 

Those who violate it more than three times within one month would face six months in prison.
