Holidaymakers and residents of France are being asked to wear masks once again in some public settings as they enter a new wave of Covid-19.
The advisory was announced by the country’s health minister, Brigitte Bourguignon, after 17,601 new infections were recorded over a 24 hour period on Monday.
This marks the highest figure since April 18, according to health officials, prompting quick action as the summer season gets underway.
