The mask requirement in the office becomes a problem at Paradeplatz. Upon request, a Credit Suisse spokesperson says the bank will introduce this with immediate effect.
“Credit Suisse continually reviews and takes steps to ensure a safe work environment for its employees. The home office is still recommended. “
“With the exception of your own work station, you must now wear a mask in Credit Suisse buildings. More than half of the employees currently work from home. “
The mask requirement apparently also applies to the Zurich insurer. To this day, the insurance giant has prescribed Mask-Auf for all branches in Switzerland.
The Vontobel Bank has also tightened its measures. At the family bank, which was the first to bring its staff to the office in the spring, the home office is once again the norm for many.
“Vontobel observes the relevant distance and hygiene rules both at its home location in Switzerland and in the other countries where the investment house is active,” says a spokesperson.
“According to these rules, Vontobel also works with divided teams and with home offices.”
UBS did not order any additional measures last night. The bank adhered to its restrictive rules even in the summer, when there was almost no positive test.
The mask requirement at Paradeplatz corresponds to the trend among multinationals. Weeks ago, Novartis made wearing a mask mandatory, except in the individual workplace, if there is enough distance there.
Last week it emerged that individual Raiffeisen banks in Valais had made the mask mandatory for staff.
The tightening fits the mood of panic in many media and in the Berne government.
Federal President Sommaruga spoke yesterday of one last chance. If the positive tests did not decline rapidly, there would be more massive interventions.
By contrast, the numbers in hospitals remain low. The emergency stations are nowhere near the capacity limit.
The warnings from the Cantonal Hospital in Schwyz and Aargau are not convincing. There is always talk of impending overload.
One is “concerned” that there may soon be bottlenecks, hospital directors say. Little has been seen of this so far.
However, CS and Zurich are now moving forward.
They force their people to wear a mask not only in the counter aisles, as Berna prescribes, but also in all offices, corridors, meeting rooms and dining rooms.
Just not on your own desk. Still.
