The number of newly infected people has increased again in the last few days. Disturbing! Hygiene and distance despite relaxing the measures are urgent. Everything else is a free pass for the virus!

Federal Councilor Alain Berset also warned on Saturday not to take the virus lightly. In an interview with Radio SRF 1, he appealed to the medical profession. It is now important to rethink: You have to test immediately even with mild symptoms. The Federal Council was confident that the cantons are well positioned for contact tracing. It is important that everything works out well now, as the situation could deteriorate again in the course of the year.
Berset also warned against trips to Serbia. Legally, there is no way to prevent travel to Serbia. However, he advises against visiting the country without an urgent visit. This also applies to other countries that are severely affected by the corona virus. When you return, you should have yourself tested and if necessary go into quarantine. However, there is no official travel warning. The situation is constantly changing, says Berset. It is important that the population is informed about the media.
A total of 1,682 infected people have died in Switzerland to date. The number of confirmed corona cases is now 31,555, which is 367.6 cases per 100,000 inhabitants.
