The situation in schools is currently tense, but stable, said an official. The main goal is that the children and young people can attend school and complete their semester and graduate regularly.
Since higher case numbers were recorded after the holidays, especially at the Sekundarstufe II, the high school students and Berufsschule students will stay home in a special week after the Christmas holidays until January 11, 2021.
During this week, the students work independently on assignments at home. They are accompanied by their teachers.
Regular school starts as scheduled on 4th of January. Mandatory mask rule extended until end of February.

🔴The Federal Council intervened today +++ Strict national wide measures in Switzerland to be applied from December 12 until January 20 +++ All explained in this thread 🔴 #CoronaInfoCH#Switzerland#COVID19
While many cantons introduced new measures this week, the Federal Council decided to intervene due to a fast rising infection rate. They held a meeting and a press conference this evening. #CoronaInfoCH
«We need to take over control» said the Federal Council. The numbers are rising too fast and the situation seems to get out of hand otherwise.

New measures this week: The Federal Council held video conferences with Thurgau, St. Gallen, Solothurn, Ticino, Aargau and Basel-Land on Saturday, where he urged them for new measures this week. #CoronaInfoCH
The council gave them a deadline of 7 days – if nothing happens, he will take new measures on a national level, according to this article: 20min.ch/story/ab-heute…#CoronaInfoCH
According to an article in @tagesanzeiger, Zürich, Thurgau and St.Gallen might be announcing new measures this week.
Germany decided to put Switzerland on their list of high risk countries. This generally means that when entering Germany from Switzerland, one has to either present a negative Covid-Test or go into a 14 days quarantine. #CoronaInfoCH
Instead of quarantine: One can, as mentioned, present a Covid-Test that is not older than 48 hours. After entering without a test and going into quarantine, a test can be made too. Quarantine can also be ended once a negative test result is present.
