Switzerland lifts quarantine demands for most travellers

New York (HRNW) Swiss authorities announced Wednesday new measures to rein in skyrocketing coronavirus cases in the country, and acknowledged that it no longer made sense for most travellers to the country to quarantine.

Cases of Covid-19 are now doubling in Switzerland from week to week, the government said, insisting a slew of stricter measures were needed if the wealthy Alpine nation wanted to avoid returning to the economically crippling partial confinement of the spring.

“No one wants a second semi-confinement,” President Simonetta Sommaruga told a news conference, insisting that everyone needed to pitch in to help avoid shutting down businesses and putting jobs at risk.
