Relieved, Pierre-Hugues Herbert. The Frenchman, who is one of the few non-vaccinated players on the circuit, with Novak Djokovic among others, welcomed the announcement on Thursday of the suspension of the vaccination pass in France, announced by the Prime Minister, Jean Castex, shortly after 1 p.m.
” I just learned it. For me it’s a relief, but I have the impression that it is for everyone.said Pierre-Hugues Herbert, 30 and 109th in the world, who has been able to play in France since the start of the year due to a positive Covid test in January.
“We all went through this period, whether we were vaccinated, not vaccinated. If the restrictions are lifted, it means that we are starting to get out of them. I am personally happy for the whole population, in fact! Let us leave aside this subject which was very heavy. Even if I tell myself that it could come back at any time…”
“A lot of things can still happen. And the good news is that I can play Roland-Garros! »he concluded, happy with this change since the validity of the pass after a positive test, increased to four months, prevented him until now from considering participating in the Parisian Major.
