PARIS—France’s National Assembly approved on May 12 the creation of a COVID-19 “health pass” that people can use to attend sports events, festivals, and theme parks with large crowds, a hotly contested government measure to help safely reopen the economy.
The health pass, which will take effect on June 9, will provide proof that a person has either been vaccinated against the coronavirus, holds a recent negative PCR test, or is recovering from COVID-19 and therefore has natural antibodies.
