BREAKING NEWS – Verbier, Switzerland – Hundreds of British tourists forced into quarantine at an upmarket ski resort due to fears about the new, more contagious variant of COVID-19 have fled under the cover of darkness, according to a report.
Around 200 out of an estimated 420 affected UK holidaymakers who were in isolation in Verbier, Switzerland, are thought to have left in the night, rather than remain indoors for more than a week and see their plans to hit the slopes massively disrupted.
It follows a ruling from Swiss authorities that anyone who arrived in the country from Britain since December 14 had to stay in quarantine for 10 days.
“We British are proud people and we’re tough people,” said one of the fleeing skiers. “We’re not afraid of any virus, and if anything, we’ll intimidate it with our good and proper English. Besides that, we all wanted out of Switzerland during tea time rather than listening to their afternoon yodeling nonsense.”
