Regulations and bans due to the coronavirus
On 28 February, the Federal Council began to introduce measures to protect the public from the coronavirus; these were gradually tightened up until 21 March. In view of the epidemiological situation in Switzerland, it again began to ease these measures from the end of April. You will find information about the regulations currently in force under Measures, ordinance and explanations.

SwissCovid app
The SwissCovid app is available from 25 June. You will find details under SwissCovid app and contact tracing.

Personal responsibility remains important
Washing your hands regularly with soap and water and keeping your distance are still the best ways of preventing infection. Continue to observe the rules on hygiene and social distancing as the coronavirus should not be allowed to spread again.
