FollowUp until now the virus has had only a cursory impact on our village and its inhabitants. Bevez and Ibe had their weekly spot at the Caprice cancelled last week, only for it to be reinstated this week. There have been no cases of Covid-19 in Wengen or any of the neighbouring villages, and life for us has been pretty normal.
All this looks about to change. The federal government have decided to close all the schools for the next 3 weeks. In addition, gatherings of more than 100 people are banned. Bars and restaurants must not hold more than 50 people at a time – including staff. We already know that the Snowpenair concert at Scheidegg next month has been cancelled.
So what about our ski lifts? There’s been no official announcement from the Jungfraubahn yet, but it seems unlikely that they can operate the ski area within the new constraints.
No photos today; it’s been really foggy all day, and Val needed x-ray vision to guide her class from Männlichen round to Scheidegg this morning.
