Release Switzerland: Expected to remove David's masses

It's about easing the certificate's obligation, facilitating the obligation to wear masks and restrictions on appointments and events, etc.

Health Minister Alay Berset's presentation before the media on Friday in Aarau had optimistic signs. He even promised that some measures such as housework (Home Office) and quarantine will be removed soon, broadcast albinfo.ch. Moreover, he said that even the obligation to Cardis will not exist forever.

Given this and other indicators, observers expect the country's government to remove the two measures cited at its next meeting Wednesday, February 2nd.

In recent consultation, a number of cantons were expressed in favour of lifting or adopting these measures.

After that, due to ski holidays, the first regular meeting of the Federal Council will be held on 16 February.

At the February 16th meeting, the Federal Council is expected to discuss and decide on further relief steps, which will be discussed in consultation with cantons on February 2nd, writes 20mutten.ch.

It is about removing the obligation to show the domestic certificate, facilitating the obligation to wear masks and restrictions on private meetings and events, Andrias Widmer from Basil University Hospital and chairman of the National Center for the Prevention of Infections (Swissnoso) warns against removing the very early “” of the mask obligation.

Reasoning not to remove the obligation of the mask, he says:

“S first, the scientific benefit from wearing the mask has proved, and secondly, the effects of the BA micron version are still uncertain.

If we remove masks and the omicron variant leads to higher rates of hospital stretching, we will have a big problem”, says Widmer. Hence, removing the obligation for the mask should be performed in phases, conveys albinfo.ch.

“S first, for example, at the gym centers, at work, and only then, later even in stores and public transportation. ”

Otherwise, it welcomes the position of the Federal Council: “from the epidemiological point of view, the removal of work from home, quarantine and certificates is still reasonable”.

This willingness shown in the removal of measures explains the fact that the Federal Government expects the peak of the current coronary wave (Omitron) to be passed soon. This, in turn, has shown that the last four waves of the coronary each lasted about six weeks. Even if Omitron waves drag a little longer: the worst appears to be over by mid-February.
