The number of new infections in Switzerland has doubled within a week. Converted to the number of inhabitants, Switzerland counts twice as many new infections as Italy, said Stefan Kuster,
Head of Communicable Diseases at the Federal Office of Public Health (BAG). 3008 new corona cases in 24 hours were reported in Switzerland and Liechtenstein on Tuesday. In addition, the BAG registered eight new deaths.
The increase will not slow down until the new measures take effect, said Kuster. In Switzerland, there has been a ban on gathering more than 15 people in public spaces since Monday,
and the mask requirement has been extended to publicly accessible areas such as shops or train stations and bus stops. On average, every infected person in Switzerland is currently infecting 1.6 other people. It must be assumed that there is a high number of unreported cases,
said Kuster. Hospitals would likely start again to postpone operations that are not absolutely necessary in order to create capacity.
