Despite the high number of infections, Switzerland is still reluctant to immediately impose a nationwide lockdown. "We're trying another way," said Health Minister Alain Berset.
However, the measures taken so far could only take effect if all Swiss took part. As a precaution, the government is currently discussing an "escalation mechanism" with the cantons during the festive period. Decisions can be expected next Friday.
The corona situation has worsened especially in central and eastern Switzerland as well as in the Zurich area. In Switzerland and Liechtenstein, the Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH) received 10,726 new infections within 72 hours.
Mathematically and taking into account the number of residents, that would correspond to more than 30,000 cases within 24 hours in Germany.
