This means that Portuguese traveling to the country of origin, to celebrate Christmas with family and friends, will have to quarantine themselves when they return to Swiss territory.

“At the beginning of this week, the figures were not in favor of Portugal. But in recent days we have seen that the incidence in Portugal is decreasing, faster than in Switzerland, since the number of cases in Portugal has been lower in recent days.

By imposing this quarantine, the Swiss Confederation will ruin the holidays of one of the largest communities in Switzerland, which every year, after a year of work in Switzerland, tries to find its families on the Christmas holidays. The “Emigrate to Switzerland” community asks the Confederation to re-evaluate this list before it goes into effect on December 14, “the publication concludes.
