Just a few weeks ago, it seemed that Switzerland could get the curve in corona case numbers to some extent. That’s over: the numbers are stagnant and at a high level.
On Tuesday, the Federal Council delivered a word of power. On short notice, he sends out a new package of measures to consult with the cantons: both restaurants and stores must close after 7 p.m., there are only five private meetings, and if that doesn’t work, there is another closure. There is not much time to consult: the final decision will be made on Friday.
