British Tourists Escaped
A local ski resort in
Switzerland faced a very unique situation. The Swiss government rolled out a
mandate for compulsory 10 days quarantine for tourists coming from the UK since
14th of December. This mandate was to control the spread of new COVID 19 variant
found in the UK. However, around 200 out of the total 420 tourists falling in
this category escaped the quarantine facility in the cover of darkness &
left the local administration in utter apprehension. The local community
spokesperson said that the community felt betrayed & they are fearing the
spread of the virus among themselves. Tourists from Britain make almost 21% of
the ski resort industry in Switzerland. Most of them start to fill up the place
by Christmas. SO far Switzerland has identified two new cases of the COVID 19
South Africa variant.
