The Verbier quarantine dispute is entering the next round. After a coronavirus mutation was detected in England, Switzerland retroactively imposed quarantine regulations for travelers from Great Britain. In Verbier alone, 420 Britons were affected.
Most of the tourists fled in a night and foggy campaign, which made headlines last Sunday. Instead of being quarantined, many Britons suddenly disappeared. Now tourists are complaining to the British newspaper “The Telegraph” about Switzerland’s behavior towards travelers.
Compensation requested
For example, Marc Gilly reports that it was not at all tempting to get stuck in a hotel room in the middle of the Alps with room service – you pay significantly higher prices due to Christmas. And then all of a sudden you have to quarantine yourself for ten days and postpone your flights. I understand that the situation has changed, but the Swiss authorities should offer us compensation. “This is because the measures were taken retrospectively.
Meanwhile, tourist Geoff Heath-Taylor complains that from one day to the next he was no longer allowed to use the amenities of his hotel like the sauna or the gondola. Had a negative corona test. “We feel hurt by the hotel,” said the tourist. “We left the hotel on December 26, the day our quarantine ended. And even then the staff yelled at me to go back to my room. “
Another Brit says he doesn’t want to travel to Switzerland just yet. This also for fear of being fined for his early release from quarantine. He flew back to Switzerland with his three children on Christmas Eve: it was impossible and intolerable for him to spend Christmas in a room with the children and also skip breakfast, he told the newspaper.
