The protest among the Portuguese in Switzerland was great last week: the Federal Office of Public Health put Portugal on the quarantine list on December 14; a trip back during the holidays to the country of origin to celebrate the holidays with the family was for many no longer in question.
But now there is hope: the quarantine list should be adjusted again tomorrow Friday. BLICK knows this from a well-informed source: several countries are coming off the list again!
Austrian federal states are leaving
The new proposals are currently circulating in an office consultation. Under the proposal, the following countries should be removed from the risk list: Jordan, North Macedonia, Poland, Portugal and Hungary.
But certain regions of neighboring Swiss countries are also being dropped off the list again: for example, the French overseas territory, French Polynesia, the Italian region of Emilia-Romagna, as well as the Austrian federal states Carinthia, Upper Austria, Salzburg and Styria. This means that the whole of Austria is no longer a quarantine area!
The new list will reportedly go into effect on December 19. This means that those who return from vacation on Saturday or travel to Portugal or Poland for the holidays no longer have to be quarantined when they return. This is also a major relief for the healthcare system, as many Portuguese and Poles are currently working in this area, for example in hospitals or nursing homes.
New listing for December 19
Under the proposal, the following countries and regions appear on the new list as of December 19:
- Andorra
- Georgia
- Croatia
- Lithuania
- Luxembourg
- Montenegro
- San Marino
- Serbia
- Slovenia
- U.S
- Friuli-Venezia Giulia region (Italy)
- Veneto Region (Italy)
More ready as of December 28 – with Sweden
But there is already another list in the office consultation. A further adjustment is planned for December 28. New states will land on this again. According to the current proposal, Belize, Sweden and Turkey will be added to the list. But also a German state, namely Saxony.
As planned, the following list will apply as of December 28:
- Andorra
- Belize
- Georgia
- Croatia
- Lithuania
- Luxembourg
- Montenegro
- San Marino
- Sweden
- Serbia
- Slovenia
- Turkey
- U.S
- State of Saxony (Germany)
- Friuli-Venezia Giulia region (Italy)
- Veneto Region (Italy)
The fact that the list is adjusted in two stages is due to Christmas. It should make planning easier for those affected, it says in the Bundesbern.
The interior department of the federal councilor of the SP, Alain Berset (48) will decide definitively on Friday.
