		</div><p>People in France are now required to show a QR code proving they have a special coronavirus pass to enjoy restaurants and cafes or travel across the country.</p>
<p>The measure is part of a government plan to encourage more people to get the vaccine and to slow down a surge in infections, as the highly contagious Delta variant now accounts for most cases in France.</p>
<p>More than 36 million people in France, or over 54% of the population, are fully vaccinated.</p>
<p>The special pass is issued to people who are vaccinated against Covid-19, who have proof of recent recovery from the virus or who have a recent negative test.</p>
<p>The measure also applies to tourists visiting the country.</p>
<p>In hospitals, visitors and patients who have appointments are required to have the pass.</p>
<p>Exceptions are made for people needing urgent care at the emergency ward.</p>
<p>The pass is now required on high-speed, intercity and night trains carrying more than 400,000 passengers per day, transport minister Jean-Baptiste Djebbari said.</p>
<p>It is also required on long-distance travel by plane and bus.</p>
<p>“We’re going to enforce massive controls,” Mr Djebbari said.</p>
<p>Paper or digital documents are accepted.</p>
<p>Polls show that most French support the health pass.</p>
<p>But the measure has prompted strong opposition from some people who say their freedoms will be compromised, notably by limiting movements and daily activities outside the home.</p>
<p>On Saturday, thousands of demonstrators marched in Paris and other French cities for a fourth consecutive week of protests against the measure.</p>
<p>The pass was already in place last month for cultural and recreational venues including cinemas, concert halls, sports arenas and theme parks.</p>
<p>The law also requires healthcare workers to be vaccinated against the virus by September 15.</p>
