In March 2020, there was a partial curfew in France due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and it was compulsory to carry a self-completed Attestation de déplacement dérogatoire form with you in public, stating a valid reason (including work, shopping or sport) for leaving the house.[4][5][6] This certificate was also referred to as a "pass" in the German-speaking media.[7]
