You are defending yourself against corona measures and are forming up on the Internet. Just last weekend, thousands of Corona skeptics flocked to Rapperswil-Jona SG to demonstrate. The city had not issued a permit, but the protesters did not care.
Corona skeptics have now targeted the Swiss Holiday Park in Morschach SZ. The reason: The hotel manager is said to have not accepted the mask certificates of a family. Without a mask, they are forbidden to use common areas such as the restaurant, as a stranger describes on Telegram.
Good food for Corona skeptics. Especially because the deaf daughter of the family has to rely on reading her lips and facial expressions. With a mask it is only bad. In a Telegram group with over 9,000 members, a call was therefore launched on Wednesday noon. Anyone in the vicinity should pay a visit to the Swiss Holiday Park around 5 p.m. – without a mask, of course. The aim is to set an example against the alleged discrimination.
The hotel was monitored and cars checked
When the Schwyz canton police found out about it, they moved out. The hotel grounds were monitored. And anyone who wanted to go to Morschach on Wednesday afternoon was checked at an intersection at the entrance to the hotel, as a reader reports.
The big rush did not materialize, however. “At around 5.30 p.m. we found that around 10 people in Morschach were talking to the person in charge of the company. After a short time the conversation ended and the people left. The situation was calm at all times, ”says Florian Grossmann, spokesman for the Schwyz canton police, to Blick. Three vehicles were turned away. There were no fines or advertisements.
The Corona skeptics celebrated themselves after the action. The police had probably prepared for a large demo, it was announced on the Telegram channel. They just gave a tip for a trip, they said innocently. Even if only ten Corona skeptics came, the call was recorded as a success. A clear signal was sent against «mask discrimination». Especially because the hotel manager now wants to give in. He said he was ready to speak to the canton doctor to clarify the matter. But is that really true?
Hotel is not intimidated
In fact, hotel director Pascal Waser is in contact with the canton doctor. But that does not mean that the family should not continue to wear a mask. “Just because a few corona skeptics turned up in our house doesn’t mean that we no longer adhere to the BAG protective measures,” Waser told Blick.
The Swiss Holiday Park is a family-friendly resort and the guidelines of the Federal Office of Public Health are strictly adhered to. However, nobody is forced to wear a mask. Especially not children. “I only drew the family’s attention to the BAG’s protection concept and asked them to adhere to it,” said the hotel director.
“I think it’s a shame that a hearing-impaired girl is being instrumentalized”
According to the BAG information sheet for mask dispensing for certain people with disabilities, the hearing-impaired should also wear a mask. This should only be deducted for communication. And the hotel follows this requirement. Guests who do not comply will not be punished. The family was not denied any service. “And they certainly weren’t thrown out of our restaurant,” explains Waser.
He had a friendly chat with the ten corona skeptics who came to the hotel about the protective measures. «It was calm and civilized. After less than 20 minutes they left again. ” The hotel manager cannot understand the appeal of the Corona skeptics on the Internet. Waser says: “I think it’s a shame that a hearing-impaired girl is being used to defend herself against measures that don’t suit her. That is not the right way. “
