The branch shall provide a complete list of its new proposals.
Unions have lobbied for more anti-ions at the site of the paintings, and staff at the Louvre Museum, Amazon France and other sites left paintings before this year, fearing their employers aren’t doing enough to them.

Employers are involved in how to apply the new needs, and also whether they will provide enough masks.
At least a quarter of the 1,013 virus groups that have emerged since France ended its strict blocking of the virus in May dates back to the workplace, according to the national fitness agency. Family holiday gatherings, dance parties and other summer occasions also have epidemics.
