Eiffel Tower Reopens As France Plans To Screen 1.3M For COVID-19

The Eiffel Tower, the world's most visited monument, reopened after a 104-day closure due to the COVID-19 pandemic, marking its longest closure since World War Two. The closure resulted in a $30 million revenue loss. As it reopens, only the first two levels are accessible, with strict safety measures like mandatory face masks for visitors over 11 and designated entry and exit points. Elevators and the observation deck remain closed. France's daily COVID-19 cases fell below 100 for the first time since March, prompting a campaign to screen 1.3 million people in Paris to identify dormant clusters.
