<p>The new law came into effect on Monday requiring a “vaccine pass” that is central to the government’s anti-virus strategy.</p>
<p>France is registering Europe’s highest-ever daily coronavirus infection numbers, and hospitals are continuing to fill up with Covid patients, though the number of people in intensive care units has dropped in recent days.</p>
<p>The government has imposed few other restrictions amid the surge in the Omicron variant, focusing instead on the vaccine pass, approved by France’s parliament and Constitutional Council last week.</p>
<p>Omicron is less likely to cause severe illness than the previous Delta variant, according to studies.</p>
<p>It spreads even more easily than other coronavirus strains and has already become dominant in many countries.</p>
<p><!--Ads1--></p>
<p>Omicron also more easily infects those who have been vaccinated or had previously been infected by prior versions of the virus.</p>
<p>Critics question whether the pass will make much difference in a country where 94% of French adults have had at least one vaccine dose, and scattered groups held protests on Saturday against the new law.</p>
<p>The government hopes that it protects the most vulnerable and reduces pressure on crowded ICUs, where most patients are unvaccinated.</p>
<p>Since last summer, France has required a “health pass” to go to any cafe, museum, cinema or take a regional train or domestic flight.</p>
<p>But until Monday, unvaccinated people could activate the pass by getting a recent negative test.</p>
<p>The new pass only works for people who are fully vaccinated, and those who recently recovered from the virus.</p>
<p>France, meanwhile, opened up access to booster shots to 12 to 17-year-olds on Monday.</p>
