Mayor Corine Mauch and Councilor Andreas Hauri address the people of Zurich in a disturbing video message.
City President Corine Mauch (SP) made it clear at the beginning of the video message: Corona numbers are currently increasing everywhere, but especially in urban centers like the city of Zurich. Therefore, he asks the people of Zurich: “Continue to implement the known rules and implement them even more consistently.” Wash your hands. Keep your distance. Wear masks where that is not possible. This is the only way to prevent “very drastic measures from being necessary again to protect people who are especially exposed to the virus.” Health Chief Andreas Hauri agrees with Mauch’s words. The goal is that life in the city can continue, even if it is a little different than usual.

When asked, Hauri describes the situation as “very serious”. But for the moment, the city council does not want to introduce more measures. “However, if the number of cases continues to rise so strongly, we will not prevent it,” he says. “But first we would discuss new measures with the canton.” Hauri does not reveal what measurements these could be.
The city already goes beyond the canton in several areas: in the city, for example, all adults must wear a mask in the school buildings of the city’s primary school, in the city’s offices or museums. For the moment, the city council wants to continue betting on the media. The video message will continue through appeals on social media and posters.
