Pedestrians in Winterthur, the second largest city in the canton of Zurich, are 180! Last week, the city police issued numerous warnings because people without masks were walking through the old town. The way the cops do this causes disgust among some. This is what the “Landbote” reports.
The implementation of the Crown Ordinance, which the Federal Council approved last week, is preparing the city of Winterthur police for work. In particular, many people do not meet the mask requirement in the old town. That is why there have been more police checkpoints in the old town of Winterhtur since the new measures went into effect.
To the publication!
Several readers of the “Landbote” have complained about how the police proceed with these controls. Describes the behavior of police officers as “aggressive” and “disproportionate”. But that’s not all: some even report a transfer to the police station, which the city police confirm upon request.
The police attach great importance to the fact that the mask requirement in the old town also applies to cyclists, which also causes a lack of understanding. The managing director of the City-Vereinigung Junge Altstadt, for his part, welcomes the instructions of the city police because they create “clear conditions”, as he tells the “Landbote”.
Denial stress
There are also voices that tend to get angry at those who refuse to wear masks. For example, a reader reports an incident at the Archhöfe shopping center near the train station, in which he felt abandoned by security personnel. At SBB and Stadtbus Winterthur, implementing the mask requirement poses few problems. Passengers would always better adhere to the newly enacted measures, writes the “Landbote.” (pbe)
