In fact, the Liguria region immediately responded to the Swiss authorities asking the Confederacy to retrace its steps. The Region sent a series of documents to the Swiss Consul General in Italy. decision distorted by uneven data supports Liguria. According to the Liguria Region, the Swiss Public Health measure is part of an automatic mechanism that is activated in the event that in an area there are more than 60 cases per 100,000 inhabitants in 14 days. In particular in the case of Liguria – read the note – this threshold corresponds to an average of 70 cases per day: this exceeding the threshold entirely attributable to the La Spezia cluster, the rest of the territory of Liguria remains mainly below the indicated parameter.
According to the procedure developed by the Berne Department of Public Health, anyone entering Switzerland from one of the risk areas must inform the cantonal authorities and fill out an online form. Violators can be fined 10,000 francs (approximately 9,000 euros).
