Frenchman rescued from Pyrenees after breaking quarantine to buy cigarettes - CNN
------------
But one man decided to break quarantine and try to cross the border [From France] into Spain in search of cheap cigarettes.
It didn't end well -- he got lost and had to be rescued.
The man, who hasn't been named, initially set off from the city of Perpignan by car but found his way blocked by police checkpoints. So he attempted to cross the border to La Jonquera on foot.
However, he got lost on the mountain slopes, fell into a stream and some brambles, and ended up calling for help.

It's not often one encounters a story that is fractically ironic.
