As the UK Government launches a search for Covid marshals to “provide practical support to aid and encourage compliance” with rules, we speak to Claudy Ebener, 20, who worked as a ‘Covid Angel’ in the Swiss ski resort of Verbier this winter.
The resort, like the rest of Switzerland, bucked the European trend and reopened to skiers for the entire ski season – the team of Angels were brought in to enforce Covid rules and regulations. But Claudy said the job is not for the faint-hearted and without any real authority his team experienced a lot of resistance.
