The whole world laughs at the boulder superspreader event at the Mythenforum Schwyz. Even the “New York Times” and the “Frankfurter Allgemeine” reported that at two performances of the singing musical “Uf Always and Forever” at the end of September, several people were infected with the corona virus and caused the outbreak in the canton.
Erwin “Buba” Bertschy (52), organizer and performer of the musical, this news gives a stomach ache. “It is totally unfair that we are blamed on all sides. We did not do anything wrong and we complied with the provisions of the STOCK EXCHANGE ”, he defends himself. “No one mentions that there was a night off at Beizen that very night.” The municipality of Schwyz confirms that instead of the traditional Chilbi monastery there was a free bar night in the district of Hinterdorf. Bertschy: “The bars were packed, there was no way to get through. Infections can also come from here. “
Canton has no evidence
Roland Wespi, Head of the Office of Health and Social Affairs of the Canton of Schwyz, is aware of the various events: “We know that there have been various events that had the potential for the Covid-19 virus to spread further. It is speculated, but there is no evidence, that a cause has caused an increase in infections. “
Yodel’s music producer Bertschy goes on to say that the contact tracing unit never asked for the musical’s audience list, even though it was there. Health Director Wespi only says: “As part of the contact tracing, the canton of Schwyz contacted the people who tested positive and carried out the relevant clarifications.”
Artists developed symptoms later
Meanwhile, those responsible for the pebble event are sure they could not have done anything differently. “It was always clear to us that we would not make the presentations if we had Covid symptoms,” says Erwin Bertschy. However, one actor only developed this two days after the last performance. “He had a slight fever and mild cough and then they did the test,” explains the yodeler. “The test was positive, the twenty actors went into quarantine. Three more then received a positive crown decision. “It cannot be conclusively established how many viewers were infected.” I know of two people in the audience. One person in the last row, one in row three. “
It is not yet clear how he will continue with the yodel musical. “Last week we decided that the public should wear a mask, before the federal government,” explains Bertschy. One performance at Therwil BL is scheduled for the end of October and two performances at Hochdorf LU at the end of November. There too, with the corresponding protection concept. Erwin Bertschy hopes that the yodel musical will not only be remembered by Corona “forever and ever.”
