How to stop Corona, especially during the holidays? That is the big question facing the federal government and the cantons. The Minister of Health, Alain Berset (48), proposes three packages of measures of different severity, depending on the epidemiological development. While Berset would like to wait with another tuning package, the cantons are pushing the gas. The Federal Council must ensure clarity on Friday and close the blemishes.
Because the situation in the crown is still worrying. On Tuesday, the Federal Office of Public Health (BAG) reported 4,271 new coronavirus infections in Switzerland and Liechtenstein in 24 hours. At the same time, the BAG recorded 187 hospital admissions and 103 new deaths. Therefore, the numbers are as high as a week ago.
According to ETH tracking, the breeding value in Switzerland is 1.13: 100 infected people infect 113 more people. Only three cantons are below an R value of 1, and just barely. And hospitals sound the alarm.
