Government information in English regarding the new coronavirus COVID-19

Switzerland is in an extraordinary situation. The number of cases is increasing rapidly. The entire population is affected and urgently called upon to take responsibility. To limit the number of severe cases of the disease and prevent our healthcare system from being overloaded, we need to act together.  

The Federal Council calls for members of the public to act responsibly and with solidarity. If you have symptoms of illness, stay at home and do not go to public spaces. The new measures are directed at everyone: both members of the public and professional circles. The measures are designed to help limit the spread of the virus as far as possible. In this section of the website you will find information for members of the public and people who are at especially high risk (i.e. especially vulnerable).
