“#Swiss nightclub, shuttered by COVID-19, reborn as blood donation center<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

LAUSANNE -A Swiss nightclub shuttered by COVID-19 restrictions has been converted into a temporary blood donation center, bringing new life to an empty multi-floor warehouse that previously heaved with revelers.<\/p>\n

Chandeliers that used to illumine the dance floor for thousands of party-goers at the MAD nightclub in the student town of Lausanne now light the way for nurses to insert needles as songs by Queen, the Bee Gees and Michael Jackson play.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was almost heartbreaking to see a place like this which has existed for almost 35 years asleep for so long,\u201d said manager Igor Blaska. \u201cSo of course we were proud to organise any activity that was possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

The nightclub in the Flon district, normally at the heart of the city\u2019s nightlife, has been shut for almost 10 months due to restrictions aimed at limiting the spread of COVID-19.<\/p>\n

Switzerland has been hit hard by a second wave of COVID-19 cases. In total, it has reported more than 350,000 infections and more than 5,000 deaths since the start of the pandemic.<\/p>\n

One former reveller-turned-blood donor said it felt good to be back at MAD \u2014 which stands for Moulin a Danse or \u2018dance mill\u2019, and has a giant, red wheel suspended from the roof.<\/p>\n

\u201cI came without question because it is a legendary place,\u201d said Olivier Rebel. \u201cThere was this side (of me, saying) \u2013 get out of the house, go back to a place I\u2019m not going to anymore but which is full of memories. It was just nice.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
