Entrance to the Saint-Cyprien market. Partially open food markets in Toulouse, France on March 26, 2020. 3 days after the government decision to close all the markets to stop the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic, the mayor of Toulouse had immediately asked the prefect to obtain an opening exemption for the 34 markets of the city. But only 3 enclosed places, allowing to limit the crowd to 100 people simultaneously, obtained this authorization. In these areas, only 1 in 3 shops remained open, with very little traffic in front of the stalls. The town hall reiterates a request for exemption for the opening of all its food markets this Thursday. Photo by Patrick Batard/ABACAPRESS.COM
