Epidemiologist and member of the federal Covid-19 task force, Marcel Tanner, warned of a further spread of the coronavirus in Switzerland. Every day counts now, he told “Blick” on Saturday. He also spoke in the “CH-Media newspapers”.
“We only see how the measures work after two weeks,” Tanner explained to “Blick.” Switzerland must limit contacts quickly and people must continue to rigorously adhere to basic measures, he demanded. So washing your hands, keeping your distance, and wearing masks are essential. “After closing we did it,” he emphasized.
It is useless to accumulate new guidelines, Tanner told “CH-Media”. “We have the three rules of hygiene, distance and masks.” Let’s add five more measures, “most people say, that’s enough.”
Avoid the crowds
Tanner doesn’t want a second lockdown either. “We don’t want people to withdraw and feel alone. We want the economy to keep running and for children to go to school, “he emphasized to” Blick. ” But to do this, Switzerland must follow suit. Tanner is particularly critical of the implementation of major events.
Far from any of us to spread fear. We will tell you how the situation is and what measures we can take to avoid a blockade across Switzerland, ”the 67-year-old continued.
The expert explains the rapid increase in coronavirus cases in Switzerland with the fact that the cold has driven them indoors. “And then during the summer, we became more careless with the basic measures,” he criticized. This can be seen, for example, in the fact that there have been many infections in families and at private parties.
