We are all in this together...

The Federal Council is easing the measures in place. From May 11th, classroom teaching may again take place in primary and lower secondary schools. Shops, markets, museums, libraries and restaurants may also reopen under strict compliance with precautionary measures.

All businesses and institutions must however present and put in place a set of precautionary measures. Everyone involved – that is to say all employees, customers, teachers, students, apprentices, athletes and trainers – must be able to observe the rules on hygiene and social distancing.

Beware, however, that the Federal Council can authorise the cantons to limit or suspend the activity of certain branches of the economy for a limited time and for specific regions if the epidemiological situation indicates a particular risk to the health of the population.

As of May 11th, the public transport network in Switzerland will be operating far more frequent services. The Swiss Federal Council would still ask you not to undertake leisure trips, however, for Swiss and EU citizens, family reunification in Switzerland will once again be possible from May 11th.
