The winter sports areas should only be opened if the cantonal situation allows it. The draft of the Federal Council at a glance.
According to the Interior Minister, the Covid-19 regulation will be supplemented for the holidays. According to the draft SRF News has received, these are mainly special rules for ski areas. The cantons have until Wednesday to respond to the proposals. On Friday, the Federal Council will decide definitively on the restrictions to winter sports. Federal Councilor Berset anticipates the following points:
Cantonal permit: The operation of a ski area requires a permit from the cantonal authorities. This should only be granted if the epidemiological situation in the canton allows it. According to the draft, this means: sufficient cantonal capacity for contact tracing, sufficient capacity in hospitals (especially for people with sports injuries) and sufficient testing capacity in the winter sports region. In addition, ski area operators must present a protection concept. The cantons should periodically check the correct application.
Entry restriction to the ski area: The Federal Council project provides for two variants. Or: A maximum of two-thirds of the number of guests can be admitted daily on the busiest day of the last winter sports season. Or: a maximum of 80 percent of the average Christmas vacation for the past five years.
Capacity restriction in the ski area: Enclosed vehicles such as cable car cabins, where one is located, can only be occupied by two-thirds. Gondolas or seat-only vehicles are not subject to additional capacity restrictions.

Mask requirement: Masks are required on all chairlifts, including chairlifts and chairlifts, even when queuing. This should also explicitly apply in the busy pedestrian areas of winter sports resorts.
Enough distance: When queuing for cable cars, parking lots or restaurants in the ski area, you need to ensure that the required distance can be maintained. The protection concept must also be monitored by staff.
No access for symptomatic people: The entry of people suffering from Covid-19 or showing symptoms of Covid-19 disease should be avoided. “Appropriate precautions should be taken for this, namely the duty of self-declaration by visitors and the refusal to transport people with clearly recognizable symptoms,” the draft states.
Restaurants in ski areas: Guests can only be admitted if there is a free table inside. Ski slope operations must close at the same time as the ski area.
Winter sports locations also need a protection concept: Not only railway operators and restaurants need a protection concept, but also communities with a wide range of winter sports. Because the meeting of people in public spaces must be prevented, according to the draft of the reform to the ordinance, which now corresponds to the cantons.
