The climb just continues. 4,573 corona cases were reported to the Federal Office of Public Health over the weekend. A week ago it was 3,643, two weeks ago 3,170. If this trend continues, exceeded a critical value shortly after Easter: 350 infections per 100,000 inhabitants in two weeks.
The Federal Council has put into play a 14-day incidence out of 350 as one of several criteria to return to the more stringent crown measures. You want to discuss this at your next meeting on April 14th.
