What I can do (or not) in Paris from May 11

Do you feel the air of deconfination that begins to blow and ruffle the shaggy ringlets ? If the epidemic is not yet over, the vise of the most stringent measures loosens a little. Overview of the questions you ask yourself. With, again and again, a clear message: take care of yourself !

Can I play this game of ping-pong with my buddy in the park downstairs from my house ?

No, first of all because the parks and gardens remain closed in Ile-de-France as long as the circulation of the virus remains important, although Anne Hidalgo has opened the door to a future reopening on the principle of counting. And then because group sports are banned until further notice and gyms closed everywhere in France.

Can I continue my jogging ?

Yes and you no longer need to print a travel certificate. Individual outdoor sports are allowed (this is the opportunity to go back to diabolo if you find your harem pants) but the pools, they, remain closed.

Can I go for a walk in the bois de Vincennes?

Yes, walks in the forest are now allowed without time or schedule limits, but of course we must respect social distance. Depending on the turnout, a mask may be useful. The restriction of travel to 100 km also applies. No way to go for a walk in the forest of Brocéliande even if you live rue de Bretagne.

Can I go get my hair cut ?

Yes, if your favorite hair artist scrupulously follows the sanitary rules : very limited number of customers in the salon, wearing the mask, disinfecting the premises and equipment. This will greatly reduce the number of possible cuts per day and catch an appointment may be long. But better to wait than to make a cut yourself, believe in our experience.

I'm tired of going out just to buy food. What can I do outside ?

The solutions to satisfy your thirst for culture from May 11 will be quite limited : you will be able to buy books at the bookstore, borrow them in the city's media libraries. Attention, the barrier gestures will greatly restrict the possibility of reception of these places. Funny detail, the Ministry of Culture announces the reopening of "small" museums but without specifying what this term covers (a deserted museum or with little area ?). More seriously, if you lost a loved one during this epidemic, you will be able to collect yourself at his grave because the cemeteries are again accessible...

Can I go for a big aperitif / a mouthful in my favorite rade with my band ?

Not even in a dream (until June 2, large minimum).

Can I go for a big aperitif / a mouthful in my favorite rade, all by myself ?

Also, cafes, bars and other restaurants remain closed at least until June 2.

Can I go and have a big drink at my house with my band ?

In theory yes, but in order not to recreate chains of contamination (and therefore a rise in the number of sick), it is imperative to respect limitations. Maximum 10 people. No big hugs, no handshakes, no exchange of glass or cigarette, very regular hand washing... plan, as at work, 4 m2 per head of pipe. If you have not been interviewed in a deco magazine, It is that you do not have a living room of 40 m2 so decrease the guest-list. Besides, no need for a Nasa algorithm to know that these kind of rules fly to pieces after too many glasses. To remain responsible, it is therefore about staying reasonable(yes, it sounds like a paternal advice from 1953).

I have a toothache, can I go to the dentist ?

Dentists, particularly exposed to contamination, are tense as their patients when the strawberry sounds. Indeed, the reopening of the offices remains conditioned to the sufficient supply of FFP2 masks, surblouse and other disinfection kits. If everything is settled, the reception will still be very limited to respect the social distance. If you look like a hamster under cortisone, there is urgency, go on https://www.urgence-dentaire.info / and let yourself be guided.

How's it going in public transport ?

After two months of slow motion, traffic will resume at full or almost (more than 75%) from 11 May, especially during peak hours. Anyone who has ever set foot in a subway or RER knows that it is completely illusory to keep 1 meter between users. As far as possible, try not to unnecessarily stick to someone and especially do not hesitate to signal the forgetful to keep their distance. The mask is mandatory for everyone in order to avoid contamination. So avoid touching the bars as much as possible, do not touch your face and wash your hands with hydroalcoholic gel. Wearing surgical gloves does not immunize you in any way, they act as a second skin. However, during peak hours, access to public transport is reserved for those who have an employer certificate or can justify their travel by compelling reason.

Will I be able to drop my kid off at school ?

It's not won. In Ile-de-France, it will be necessary that it be in nursery, kindergarten or primary, the colleges and high schools remain closed at least until 18 May. And since the reopening is done on a voluntary basis, everything will depend on the decision of your mayor. And even if the reopening is activated, given the complexity of the implementation of protective measures, there will not be room for everyone. Priority will go to the children of caregivers and teachers. Some schools have already postponed the opening until later, the best remains to consult with the director of the institution, but without putting pressure on him, because he will have already had 200 other anxious parents before you and the information falls into the dropper.

I'm an exiled Parisian, can I go back to the cradle ?

If you are one of the 1.2 million Francilians who, according to geolocation data collected by Orange, have gone for a little shot of greenery in the province, know that yes, you will be able to return to the cradle. The only condition ? Complete a certificate of return to his home for compelling family reasons. Be careful though: SNCF will only sell one in two seats on each train and traffic is still reduced.
