The Federal Council is planning to gradually ease the measures in place: From 27 April, hospitals will be able to resume all medical procedures and certain branches of the economy will be able to reopen under certain conditions. We must all continue to follow the rules on hygiene and social distancing as the coronavirus must not be allowed to spread again.
The Federal Council still categorises the situation in Switzerland as extraordinary under the terms of the Epidemics Act. It issued a series of measures aimed at the population, organisations and institutions, and the cantons. It will now gradually begin to ease these measures as long as certain precautionary measures are respected.
