Switzerland Removes Almost All Pandemic Restrictions
Published : 18-Feb-2022 05:09
Switzerland no longer requires people arriving in the country to prove they have been vaccinated, or even show a negative test result.
"Health-related measures for persons entering the country are lifted on 17 February 2022. It is no longer necessary to provide proof of vaccination, recovery or a negative test or complete an entry form," a statement from the Swiss government reads.
The country is also removing most restrictions on day-to-day life within Switzerland that had been put in place due to the pandemic too. All restrictions on shops and restaurants, among other businesses, are being lifted.
"From 17 February 2022, almost all measures are lifted. There only remains the mask requirement on public transport (including cable cars, buses, funiculars, trains)," the statement explains.
The Swiss government say that more than 90% of Swiss nationals now have some protection from the virus due to vaccination or past infection and that although the virus is still in circulation there is no longer a concern of the country's health service being potentially overwhelmed.
