The behaviour of the students has been completely irresponsible

The decision to compulsorily quarantine the 2,500 students at the Ecole Hoteliere School of Lausanne was instructed by the student body after difficulties in contact tracing and given the high number of people who attended the parties organised between Wednesday and Saturday - just before the entry that has come into force of the latest restrictive measures introduced by the canton of Vaud back on the 17th September ‘ it has been impossible to trace all the contacts made since Saturday’. The cantonal doctor Karim Boubaker from Vaud explained to Corriere del Ticino.

‘To date we have eleven positive cases and every day we strictly monitor compliance within the quarantine’ Given the high number of people involved, checks are carried out by the EHL for students boarding whilst day students are to stay at home and are dealt with by the authorities. In total, there are around 3,000 people in quarantine in the canton of Vaud.

‘We are talking about a particular case, but the behaviour of the students was completely irresponsibleu’ concludes Boubaker.
