Stranded student in Zurich: “Concern for the bride who is alone in London”(03:19)
Emotionally very difficult situation
Galantay is studying in the UK. “I will not be able to continue my studies at this time,” he says disappointed. “But the worst thing is that I can’t support my girlfriend, who is now completely alone in London.”
The problem: the friend is blocked due to the Corona mutation in Britain. “Your house is about 10,000 kilometers away.” Galantay fears that he may not be able to enter the country at home at this time. “I am concerned about the mental health of her and many others who are now affected by this situation.” The situation is “emotionally very difficult,” Galantay continues. “Being together, which is very important to us, has fallen into the water.”
Airport spokeswoman Jasmin Bodmer tells BLICK: “It is difficult to assess whether passengers are on their way here. We are prepared for stranded passengers here. We have rooms with folding beds and mattresses. There are also toiletries available. ”
Largely sealed
Flight stopovers over Great Britain have also been imposed in Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Ireland and Austria. Switzerland also cut off flight connections to South Africa due to a crown mutation. France sealed Great Britain entirely, by air, sea and land.
Argentina, Colombia, Chile, Canada and the Gulf state of Kuwait also stopped flights from Great Britain.
Strict blocking
Initial studies by British scientists have shown that the new crown mutation is up to 70 percent more contagious than previous variants. It is also feared that corona vaccines will not be effective for the modified virus.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson has imposed a strict blockade on various regions of the country. His health minister, Matt Hancock, warns that the virus mutation is “out of control.”
