On Wednesday, the canton of Bern asked people to avoid celebrating Halloween if possible: “Please refrain from Halloween street gatherings or door-to-door visits this year,” read a tweet.
In a press release from the canton, it says: “The spread of the corona virus can only be contained if the entire population helps reduce the possibility of infection.”
In the current situation, moving in mixed groups outside the usual social environment is not recommended, it is said. The reason for the call is the increasing number of corona cases.
680 new infections in one day
In the canton of Bern, 680 new corona virus infections were recorded on Thursday. Four people have died since the previous day. This arises from the figures published on the Internet for the Canton of Bern.
