Déconfinement: in the green areas, the restaurants will resume service

The restaurateurs are preparing to resume their activity, by removing tables. In the green zones, the first will re-open on 2 June ; the others are still waiting to be fixed on their fate. The space to reserve between each client had become the number one challenge of the re-opening. For health reasons, the government argued for two meters, a perimeter of 4 square meters per customer, such as in offices.

In large urban areas such as Paris, many wait for September."
