A French theme park has caused an outcry by staging a show attended by 9,000 people, skirting a legal limit on gatherings of over 5,000 imposed to help curb the spread of coronavirus.

Last week President Emmanuel Macron’s government extended the ban on gatherings of more than 5,000 people to Oct. 30 but said prefects - regional state administrators appointed by the president - could make exceptions.“There are social distancing rules and there are dispensations for the friends of the president. Macron had brought forward the opening of Puy du Fou . Now they are allowed to create coronavirus clusters,” Greens party national secretary Julien Bayou wrote on his Twitter feed.
She said open-air events for more than 5,000 people could get the go-ahead provided they apply individual seating, strict social distancing and mandatory mask-wearing.
