Current regulations
Since February 17, the so-called "Freedom day" Switzerland has lifted almost all anti-Covid-19 measures. Restaurants, cultural facilities, facilities open to the public, and events will again be accessible without a mask or COVID certificate. Also revoked the obligation of the mask at work and the recommendation of teleworking. The federal council has repealed almost all national measures against the pandemic. To protect people at particular risk, only the isolation of people who tested positive for the test and the obligation to wear a mask on public transport and health facilities will remain in force until the end of March, after which the normal situation will return.
