Today the Federal Council wants to publish new rules against the pandemic. A possible traffic light system remains controversial.
- Today, Friday, the Federal Council wants to announce how the corona measures will continue.
- On Tuesday, it sent several measures for consultation shortly after individual cantons announced a tightening. Huh and hott was heard in recent days.
- A traffic light system with clearly defined rules could help against this.
Clear guidelines that trigger clear action, that’s the basic idea of a traffic light system. Neighboring countries France and Italy already have similar systems.
A traffic light system provides hospitals, the population and the economy with clear planning security.
FDP and SP for system with uniform rules
The FDP has been calling for a uniform system for Switzerland since spring, as the Lucerne FDP State Council and health politician Damian Müller put it: “Of course, there is clear safety planning for hospitals, but also for the population. , but also for the economy. And that is what we have been waiting for from the Federal Council since the summer and it has done nothing to date. “
Specifically, the FDP advocates a gradual intervention system differentiated by cantons. The SP is also campaigning for a clear system with uniform rules, as Co-Chair Cedric Wermuth said at a press conference in November: “Then the measures will be predictable, understandable, understandable and fair to all.”
FDP Müller Council of States: a consensus was reached
But by what criteria should the system work? Epidemiologist Christian Althaus writes on Twitter that the incidence of 14 days per 100,000 inhabitants or the rate of positivity could be indicators.
The FDP Council of States Damian Müller is convinced that a consensus would be reached for indicators and measures: “I think we would meet. You may need to take five or six levels where you clearly define the criteria to be able to climb. ”Health Minister Alain Berset sees it differently.
He already said on Tuesday that if the figures continued to rise, an escalation mechanism would be put in place. But you don’t see a fixed traffic light system as effective.
We don’t want any more restaurants or shops to close due to a traffic light system that may not have to close at all,
Senior Vice President of Pragmatic Solutions
The SVP is similar, as National Councilor Albert Rösti explains. Meaningful data would be missing, so pragmatic solutions would have to be found: “We don’t want even more restaurants or shops to close due to a traffic light system that may not have to close at all and people react too late elsewhere.”
CVP does not want to comment on a possible traffic light system at this time. Their design would show if such a system could get the most.
