The incidence rates are low, the arrival of international stars is subject to the health pass, but this large gathering in Cannes still raises some questions on the health level.
This 74th Cannes Film Festival, back on the Croisette in a staggered way (July instead of May), takes place under the sign of health precautions, due to pandemic. To enter the palace, it will be necessary to justify a complete vaccination course (two weeks after a second injection) or proof of acquired immunity. And for the others, a “high capacity” laboratory will be set up nearby, for saliva PCR tests (no swab in delicate noses), with results sent within six hours. This 450 m² center dedicated to screening in front of the Palais des Festivals in Cannes will test the 20,000 accredited people over the entire period of the Festival from July 5 to July 17, 2021. Every day, 4,000 tests can be carried out there from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m.
In summary, a reluctant star will just have to think a little ahead before hitting the red carpet. Because we do not imagine that there are circumventions of the rule, do we?
