No Europa-Park, no Christmas market, no festivals. But does Halloween happen? Children walking from house to house carrying the virus around the neighborhood? The canton of Bern police say a clear “no”. “Dear children, dear parents, please refrain from Halloween street gatherings or door-to-door tours this year,” he says on Twitter.
Migros sees it differently. In a promotional video with the dubious caption “Just Live Well – Halloween,” she encourages customers to stock up on candy for children to visit. Nobody wears a mask. Nobody keeps their distance. Since most of the Swiss are not prepared for the festival, the retailer advertises that they have enough goodies, that is, sweets, in the country beforehand.
Migros is rowing back
After all: Migros is rowing. “The warning from the health authorities is absolutely understandable,” says a BLICK spokesperson. “We are currently in the process of clarifying how and if we can remove our Halloween venue. However, too often, it shouldn’t happen anymore. “
The cantonal police agree. Each occasion must be questioned today whether it is really necessary. “Halloween is not prohibited, but in the current situation the question arises as to whether the celebration really should take place,” a spokesman for the Zurich canton police tells BLICK. In addition to Bern, the Graubünden police agreed: “We call on the population to take responsibility,” said a spokesman. “Containing the pandemic is now the top priority.” (vnf)
