Large events with more than 1000 people have only been allowed again for three weeks, and are already being put to the test again in light of the growing number of corona cases. The canton of Bern has gone ahead with SVP health director Pierre-Alain Schnegg (57), who bans major events. But other cantons are likely to follow. Michael Jordi, general secretary of the Conference of Directors of Health (GDK), hopes this: “I assume that other cantons will soon do the same.”
In fact, a return to the 1000 limit is being debated this week in several cantons. For example, in the cantons of Aargau, Baselland, Thurgau and Zurich. Likewise, the canton of St. Gallen, where FC St. Gallen or ice hockey players from the Rapperswil-Jona Lakers tremble at a decision.
The St. Gallen government, led by CVP district president and health director Bruno Damann (63), has announced a press conference on how to proceed with the crown issue this afternoon at 1.30 pm – VIEW reports Live.

Dance ban draws criticism
Recently, the eastern canton of Switzerland tightened the reins: since the weekend, there has been a ban on dancing in all clubs and bars, which has been criticized by the organizers.
However, it is clear that St. Gallen is likely to further toughen protective measures. “The number of positive test results in the canton of St. Gallen has increased again for a few days,” says the invitation to the media. Very few Covid patients still have to go to the hospital, but: “Due to the development of the situation, the government will decide on new restrictions.”
Both the government and experts from the cantonal medical office and municipalities will assess the current situation at the press conference and explain the measures that have been decided. The government will also reportedly take a position on the issues of major events, criticism of the dance ban and control of the new rules in the canton.
