FAQ Covid 19

What are the barrier gestures to be respected ?
In the absence of treatment, the best protection for you and your loved ones is, at all times, the respect of barrier measures and physical distancing:
- It is mandatory to use a mask in public transport and enclosed public places (shops, administrations, theaters, etc.).
- In the open air – especially when gathering together – when physical distancing proves to be complicated, wearing a mask remains the right reflex.
- Respect the instructions of the shopkeepers (especially the number of people allowed to enter the stores at the same time).
- In the queues and at the time of possible meetings, respect the distance (1 meter minimum) recommended by the health authorities.
- Salute without shaking hands, avoid hugs.
- Wash your hands with soap or a hydro-alcoholic solution before and after (and possibly during) each outing.
- Cough or sneeze into your elbow. Use disposable tissues.
- Avoid touching your face.

Wearing a mask in Marseille

It is no longer compulsory to wear a mask in public areas, in parks and gardens, on beaches, in natural areas, for two-wheelers (bicycles, motorbikes, etc.), and for sports activities.

It is still compulsory to wear a mask in establishments open to the public (shops, shopping centres, museums and other cultural places), in enclosed areas, during gatherings (stadiums, concerts, markets, etc.) and in queues.

This obligation does not apply to disabled people who have a medical certificate justifying this exemption.

Transport information Covid 19

Public Transportation

Wearing a mask is mandatory on public transportation in the RTM network (bus, subway, tramway, shuttles) but also in other modes of transport (trains, planes, intercity buses …). Controls and verbalizations are planned.

In addition to barrier gestures (physical distancing in particular), wearing a mask adds a physical barrier when you are in contact with other people and therefore helps to reduce the risk of contamination. Find here all the information about the RTM network.
