In order to react quickly to the development of the pandemic, Health Minister Alain Berset proposes three packages of measures. The decisive factor for which the package of measures is applied in a canton is the epidemiological situation, specifically the R-value, which shows the development of new infections, as well as the utilization of capacity and intensive care units.
Package of measures I should be applied if the R-value is slightly higher than 1 and intensive care units are used more than 80 percent. Restaurants would then be closed, as well as leisure and entertainment facilities, sport would only be allowed outdoors and in groups of a maximum of five people.
At Package of measures II stores and markets would also have to close on weekends and capacity would be further reduced. Employees were given the right to work from home and the recommendation would be to stay home and not go on a trip. This package of measures would apply if the R-value is greater than 1.1 or if intensive care units are more than 85 percent full.
If the R value is greater than 1.2 or a load of more than 90 percent, it works Package of measures III. This would mean that only stores that sell everyday products would be open. The markets would have to close. A maximum of ten people is allowed to meet, in the private sector limited to two households.
Currently, only the cantons of Obwalden, Geneva, Jura, Valais, and Neuchâtel have an R-value of 1 and an intensive care unit utilization of 80 percent.
