Almost all the British who were supposed to be quarantined in Verbier and Bagnes have disappeared: 420 of that number have been counted, fewer than a dozen remain. This reported “20 minutes”. This fact made headlines on Sunday morning when the “SonntagsZeitung” reported on the disappearance of the British. At that time about half of the British were still supposed to have disappeared.
Meanwhile, there are many things that are not clear: for example, the question of where the British disappeared. Some may have returned to their homeland with regular return flights and special protective measures.
The president of Valais, Christophe Darbellay, defends himself against the accusation of the community of having done very little to enforce the quarantine: “Some of the guests left by car. You are now quarantined in London. “The Valaisian does not judge his behavior:” There is also personal responsibility, “says Darbellay.
Criticism is a bag
But the CVP politician criticized the Federal Office of Public Health (BAG): the list with passenger data was missing. That made our job unnecessarily difficult. ”He doesn’t know why Bern didn’t deliver the data to Valais faster.
However, the canton did everything possible to enforce the quarantine rules: “Hoteliers, tourist offices, apartment rental companies, they were all written.” It is clear that not everyone in a chalet or a second home reacted. Also, do not forget that you can travel throughout Europe without having to identify yourself. “The border is a sieve,” says Darbellay. Full control is simply not possible, although the Valais is teeming with police officers.
