The full extend of the restrictions is still to be announced / debated, but the first echo indicates that even going to the mall for grocery shopping, to the pharmarcy for medecines or to the hospital for doc appointment might be restricted.
Tests should not be free anymore sometimes in automn.
That's why I meant by "de facto".
Plus, we're talking about "restaurants" and "bars" in France. That borders on "necessities" ;)
To be honest, my biggest issue is the timing, though time will tell if it was necessary (playing catch-up with an exponential, once again...)
As you said, details are yet to be debated, but i highly doubt grocery shopping will be on the list of restricted activities.
For the rest, PCR tests for free until the autumn will give plenty of time for everyone to get their two doses. It's not that complicated nor time consuming to take one every few days, it just requires anticipation. ( And btw did they specifically say PCR? I don't recall.. Antigen tests are quicker and might be an easier way out )
The timing is very short indeed, bordering on the unfeasible. I think that they're right in the approach, and maybe if they had given more time people would have been more relaxed and said to themselves they'll go get vaccinated once they're back from vacation, which might be too late to avoid trouble and new curfews, closings, etc.
