Corona Federal Council press conference – Will the Federal Council decide today on a “light” blockade?

According to the proposal of the Freiburg Minister of Health, the shops can remain open, within the framework of the applicable regulations, that is, until 7 pm and a sale ban on Sundays. However, after Christmas, the situation should be analyzed again. If massive concentrations take place in stores or if the situation deteriorates fundamentally, the Federal Council could close them at a later date.

Bakeries will likely be selling bread, croissants and pastries again on Sundays. Last Sunday, numerous bakeries did not comply with the ban.

You could call this exception Lex Köppel. The SVP National Council of Küsnachter had recently complained bitterly on Twitter that he was unable to buy bread for his family’s breakfast on Sunday.

Another option would be to close stores with the exception of supermarkets, which would also be the wish of the federal Covid-19 task force. They urgently recommend a closure like in the spring: the two Federal Councilors SVP Ueli Maurer (finance) and Guy Parlemin (economy) will definitely fight this with all their might.

The fact is that the Federal Council’s measures, depending on how hard they fall, are still lax compared to other countries.
