mint Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 plan for the déconfinement is to be debated in the assembly. We should know more of the details. All the relevant sectors, school, commerce, testing, masks, etc will be addressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mint Posted April 28, 2020 Author Share Posted April 28, 2020 All the assembly members have to vote for it later today and the consensus seems to be that it's a good and safe strategy that is being proposed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormanH Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Again it was the subject of an intelligent and informative edition of "C'est dans l'air" this eveninghttps://www.france.tv/france-5/c-dans-l-air/1405521-11-mai-feux-verts-et-feux-rouges.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mint Posted April 28, 2020 Author Share Posted April 28, 2020 Yes, thank you, an excellent discussion and clarified in my own mind what I gathered from the PM's statement today.Delighted that the plan has been voted on and generally approved. I don't think the different political parties in France, in this instance, have cooperated as well with the government as those in the UK.Being in the Dordogne, we will be a département vert and I am keeping my fingers crossed that all déroulera smoothly.

sid Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Mint"Being in the Dordogne, we will be a département vert and I am keeping my fingers crossed that all déroulera smoothly."The green departements haven't been decided yet, but I hope you're right.We are in the extreme south of 79, within a few kms of the boundaries of 16 and 17; I'm hoping that we will be able to cross into the neighbouring departements, but nothing is finalised yet. I'm so longing to get back on my bike (vélo, that is !). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mint Posted April 29, 2020 Author Share Posted April 29, 2020 Sid, I have grounds for hoping that we are a département vert because, the last time I looked a couple of days ago, there was only one single death and fewer than 10 en réanimation in the Dordogne.I posted about this déconfinement régionalisé and was laughed at by some and opposed by others. It wasn't my proposal, but that of some heads of départements that have been the least touchés. Makes sense, if infection is so low, why should we be treated as the Grand Est, for example?Noman, thanks for the links; might get a chance to watch them this evening after my walk (weather permitting) and the pilates, such as it is, that I have learned from a video. No idea if I am doing it right but it's been most effective in reducing the waistline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gardengirl Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Excellent that Pilates is having results, Mint. I was reading yesterday that Croatia and other EU countries with large tourist income are trying to organise green passports, so that EU tourists can travel within the EU and help keep money circulating and save jobs. The green passports are to prove that tourists don’t have COVID-19, so presumably after a blood test has been taken and a certificate given.

mint Posted April 29, 2020 Author Share Posted April 29, 2020 Ugh.....I sure ain't going to Croatia. What if there were a sudden second wave and I couldn't get back home to France and am stuck in Croatia for 4 months!!! Doesn't bear thinking about.....There is an English couple in our village (quite new to our village) who spent winter in Portugal and cannot now come home. Their house and garden are beginning to look abandoned and very neglected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean a green passport holder could test negative for the virus and then 3 days later acquire it. Or is this supposed to be an antibody test to prove the tourist has already had the virus?

Gardengirl Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 It was apparently a preliminary discussion, so a lot to sort out - here’s a link I’ve found, sorry about all the adverts, and ut probably won’t be live, as I’m on my ipad:https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1274931/EU-news-summer-holiday-coronavirus-passport-travel-UK-EU-latest-update Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a lot of people who were away and got home and literally from all over the world, including Doctors, who were needed here. I am sure that these people will have a tale to tell about it, but everyone I know managed and I would suspect that the majority of people managed, even it it was 'difficult' or a rather more 'interesting' route than they would normally have taken.
