British tourists ‘fled’ Swiss ski resort quarantine
CNNCNN — British tourists fled the Swiss ski resort of Verbier “clandestinely” under cover of darkness rather than submit to a new quarantine imposed on UK visitors, a local official said on Monday. On December 21, the Swiss Federal Council imposed an entry ban and a retroactive 10-day quarantine period on all travelers from the UK and South Africa – which has detected another new variant – meaning anyone who entered Switzerland from the two countries since December 14 is required to quarantine. Imagine staying with four people in a hotel room of 20 square meters, and they had to pay for staying at a Swiss ski resort,” he added. According to Head of the Verbier Tourism Office, Simon Wiget, British tourists usually make up 21% of holidaymakers staying at the resort.
