Second Block Excluded in Switzerland

While some regions of France and Spain impose new coronary restrictions, Swiss authorities say such drastic measures are not planned for the moment.

Although the number of cases has increased in certain cantons, “at the moment, the situation in Switzerland is calm, as far as hospital hospital and death is concerned”, said national adviser Jörg Mäder for Swiss media, records albinfo.ch.

According to Mäder, the country will be able to respond better than it reacted in March, <x0falal to new knowledge about the” virus.

Some early measures were excessive because we did not know where the virus was transmitted. Hospitals are also more prepared today. So we're not going towards a second isolation, “he said.

Epidemiologist Marcel Tanner, who is a member of the Task Force Individual-19, noted that Switzerland's testing and tracking strategy has been successful.

“We can talk about a second wave when it is no longer possible to determine where the transmissions occurred and we can no longer act objectively”, he said, forwards albinfo.ch.ch.

Tanner also said that if the strictest measures become necessary, the <x0 soft and progressive opportunities are possible, not like this spring, when elected officials should urgently react to”.

For example, limiting measures in a region would be possible in order to control the development of pandemic at a local level.

And not all stores should necessarily be closed. We can, for example, limit measures for people belonging to a group at risk “, he said.

He added that another “impasse should be avoided at any cost. It would be catastrophic economically and socially”.

Another expert, microbiologist Martin Ackermann said a second wave and a subsequent closure could be avoided through “a strategy based on hygiene and social distance rules, such as masks, as well as testing and tracking people in contact with the carriers of the virus”.

Uel Maurer, the former Swiss president and now head of the Federal Finance Department, said Switzerland “cannot afford another deadlock”, urging all residents to respect current regulations and prevention measures.
