Covid 19, Coronavirus, health pass, confinement etc ... these are the words most heard for more than a year in France and abroad.

Clubs padel Since this pandemic have had to reorganize themselves in order to meet legal obligations against the fight against the spread of the virus and above all to adapt to this contagion which has turned our lives upside down.

This is not necessarily likely to get better in the coming months.

Indeed since Friday December 17 and the announcement of John Castex on the next measures to be adopted for many places the situation could indeed change.

If the health pass was the key to entry into places open to the public, it should very soon give way to the vaccination pass.

But the question we ask ourselves at Padel Magazine East : what will this change for the clubs of padel ?

What is the difference between health pass and vaccination?

Rest assured, we have not become a health magazine but it is still necessary to lay the foundations and understand the difference between the health pass that we have for the most part now, and the possible vaccination pass.

For our health pass to be valid, you must be vaccinated or present a negative PCR or antigen test.

Soon these tests will no longer be necessary and will no longer be an alternative to be able to access a place subject to these measures. In fact, the next version of the test will therefore only be active if the person has a complete vaccination schedule, that is to say having received one or two doses (depending on the case) during the primary vaccination.

Regarding its validation date, we do not know more for the moment but some sources suggest a launch date at the beginning of the year 2022.

While waiting for this new vaccination pass, it is to the calendar of the health pass that we must refer. And especially on the deadline of January 15, from which it will be necessary to have received a booster dose to keep his health pass.

Which places will be affected?

Logically, as for the health pass, places such as restaurants, cinemas, sports clubs will be concerned, which of course suggests that health clubs padel will not be spared.

For a few months already we need a pass to be able to play padel.

What consequences for the clubs?

Of course, the first consequence that comes to mind is the drop in attendance.

In fact, last month we could count around 5.6 million unvaccinated French people in France. Some of them agreed to play the game of PCR or antigen testing to overcome the dreaded bite in the arm.

However with this new measure which should arrive shortly, exit the tests. Only a complete vaccination schedule will count.

Especially since the government wants to tighten controls against “False Passes”. At a time when some French people seem reluctant about a recall of the 3rd dose, the clubs of padel could see their attendance drop in the first quarter of 2022.

For the moment nothing has yet been decided and debates should take place in the coming days between parliamentarians.
