Another European country has said it is “taking a decisive and important step towards a normal life” and is lifting restrictions, including for the domestic tourism industry. We are talking about Switzerland. It is true that the easing of entry and exit has not been announced yet, but given the global trend – this is to be expected in the near future.
From Thursday, February 17, the Swiss government will lift almost all restrictions within the country, “against the background of confidence that the level of infection with COVID-19 has been successfully separated from the number of hospitalizations.” This will mainly apply to locals and the domestic tourism industry – for example, you will not need to present COVID certificates in restaurants, bars or other places such as theaters and concert halls. But self-isolation for those infected with COVID-19 will remain in effect until the end of March, as will the requirement to wear masks when visiting medical facilities and public transport.
“Switzerland is taking a decisive and important step towards a normal life. There is a virus. We are learning to live with the virus, “Swiss President Ignacio Cassis told a news conference in Bern.
It will be recalled that European countries have literally started lifting restrictions in the last week. It is possible that the European authorities were afraid of the “freedom convoys” that, having started in Canada, “traveled” throughout the European Union, including Brussels.
