Masks compulsory on all public transport from 6 July 2020

Masks will be compulsory on all public transport from 6 July 2020. In addition, travellers from certain regions will have to go into quarantine. Events attended by more than 1,000 people remain prohibited until at least the end of August.

In view of the increasing volume of people travelling and the rising number of new infections since mid-June, the Federal Council has decided to make masks compulsory on public transport throughout the country from Monday, 6 July 2020. In addition, travellers from certain regions will have to go into quarantine. Entry restrictions are expected to be lifted for an initial group of third countries from 20 July 2020.

Publicly accessible establishments, schools and events must still have precautionary measures in place. Information on the new simplified requirements can be found under Precautionary measures.
