Now should be the end of obstruction and idleness. Next Friday, the Federal Council wants to adopt a mechanism that forces it or the cantons to adopt new or stricter crown rules clearly defined in a given epidemiological situation.

In the future, the Federal Council should be able to make decisions “very quickly” in such cases.
