Continue to follow the hygiene and social distancing rules. The best way to protect yourself and others from infection is by regularly washing your hands with soap, keeping your distance and wearing a mask.
Get together with fewer people
Many people contract coronavirus in social settings because they cannot or do not want to comply with physical distancing when they are with family and friends. Given the number of cases, it is important to avoid meeting up with others in large groups. It is also important that you mix with fewer people overall. This will help slow down the spread of coronavirus.
We recommend you consciously weigh up when to meet up with people. Consider how many different friends, family members and coworkers you have met up with in the last few days, or will meet up with soon. The more face-to-face contact you havewithin a short period of time, the more people you could infect if you contract coronavirus.
Keep your distance
You can be infected with the new coronavirus if you have had close, prolonged contact with an infected person. By keeping the necessary distance (1.5 metres), you protect yourself and others from infection:
When standing in line (for example in the supermarket), keep your distance from the people in front of and behind you
Protect people at especially high risk around you by keeping your distance
Observe the rules for visitors to old people’s homes, care homes and hospitals
Keep your distance on public transport
Try to avoid travelling during the morning and evening rush hours, and use less popular routes, especially if you are travelling for leisure.
Masks compulsory if distancing isn’t possible
Wearing a mask is compulsory in many parts of Switzerland. As a rule of thumb, always wear a mask when you are out and if you cannot maintain a 1.5 metre distance from other people at all times. You’ll find more details on the page Masks.
Always stick to the rule on mask-wearing. You should wear the mask over your nose and mouth. By using and wearing a mask correctly, you can protect others from infection because an infected person can already be contagious without knowing it before symptoms appear. So if everyone wears a mask in confined spaces, we can all protect each other.
Masks compulsory in publicly accessible indoor and outdoor areas, and on public transport
On the page Masks, you’ll find more information on the national requirements: where exactly masks must be worn, who is exempt and how to wear a mask correctly.
Requirement to work from home
Work from home again if possible. That way you are reducing your interaction with others and preventing the spread of the virus.
Employers are obliged to order home office wherever this is possible due to the nature of the activity and can be implemented with a proportionate effort.
Ventilate rooms several times a day
The risk of transmission of the coronavirus in inside spaces can be reduced by suitable ventilation measures. We therefore recommend regular ventilation in all rooms in which people are present.
Please note the following here:
Always open the windows fully and ensure that there is a draft when ventilating a room.
Ventilate all rooms regularly and frequently. The more people there are in a room and the smaller the room is, the more frequently it should be ventilated.
Ventilate the whole flat three to five times a day for between five and ten minutes.
Ventilate rooms in which several people are present for extended periods (e.g. work rooms, recreational areas, home-office rooms) every one to two hours for between five and ten minutes.
Ventilate classrooms at least after each lesson. Further information and tips in this regard can be found at www.schulen-lueften.ch (website available in German, French and Italian only).
Important: Good ventilation cannot prevent infection through close contact. Keeping your distance, wearing a mask and observing the rules on hygiene remain the most effective measures.
Always call ahead before going to the doctor’s or the emergency department
If you have to go to the doctor’s or an emergency department because of symptoms associated with the coronavirus, you must phone ahead.
If you are feeling unwell, experiencing health complaints or symptoms not associated with the coronavirus: Take it seriously and get treatment. Doctors and hospitals have made arrangements so they can treat patients safely with the necessary protective measures. You can therefore get treatment without any risk of infection.
Isolate and quarantine
Self-isolation and quarantine are measures designed to break chains of infections of the coronavirus and to curb the spread of the disease. If you have tested positive for coronavirus, you must self-isolate. If you have been in close contact with someone who has tested positive, or if you have travelled to Switzerland from a country or region with an increased risk of infection, you must go into quarantine.
