- After a wedding in the canton of Uri, more than 100 people must be quarantined. This is because a guest tested positive for Corona.
- Guests from the Canton of Zurich also participated in the celebration, but there are no restrictions for them.
- “The exact procedure for locating contacts depends on the cantons,” says the spokesman for the conference of health directors.
More than 100 people held a wedding in Urnerischen Schattdorf on Saturday. A person who since then has tested positive for Corona also participated in the aperitif. Therefore, almost all the guests had to be quarantined, regardless of whether they came from the canton of Uri or from other cantons such as Lucerne or St. Gallen. But there is an exception.
Quarantine does not apply to Zurich residents
In the canton of Uri, the canton doctor reacted and ordered a ten-day quarantine for the 77 guests of Uri. “There was a very big mix at the wedding reception. It was no longer possible to understand who was in contact with whom. That’s why everyone had to be quarantined, ”explains Adrian Zurfluh, information officer for the canton of Uri.
The doctor from the canton of Zurich sees it differently. The three guests at the Zurich wedding do not have to be quarantined. Apparently, they were able to credibly show that they had no close contact with the infected person. This despite the fact that at least two of the people are close relatives of the bride and groom.
The federal government only makes recommendations
Andreas Zurfluh does not like to judge the actions of other cantons. However, your canton’s approach is not wrong: “We are not particularly strict. We implement federal guidelines. We are consistent and that pays off. “
Federal government recommendations apply. The exact procedure for contact tracing depends on the cantons.
The fact that cantons approach the same event differently is completely legitimate, says Tobias Bär, communications officer for the Cantonal Directors of Health Conference (GDK). “The recommendations of the federal government are applied. The exact procedure for contact tracing depends on the cantons. “And so Uri’s guests have to stay home while the Zurichers can go outside. Federalism makes it possible.
