French Health Pass at more public venues; wildfires wreak havoc on Greek island

Today in France, the so-called Health Pass - a digital certificate showing that the holder has had at least one jab of a covid vaccine, a negative test, or has had the virus, is being extended to bars, cafes and restaurants.
