Per today’s press release.
Entry into Switzerland: quarantine abolished, test requirement
strengthened At the meeting, the Federal Council also amended the
provisions for entry into Switzerland. From tomorrow, Saturday 4
December, all countries will be removed from the list of states and
regions for which quarantine is in force.To continue to contain the spread of the Omicron variant in our
country as much as possible, the test regime for entry into
Switzerland has been tightened up. The test is now mandatory for
people who have been vaccinated or cured. In addition to having to
undergo a PCR test before entering Switzerland, a second test (PCR or
rapid antigen) must also be performed between the fourth and seventh
day after arrival. This can ensure that people who have been infected
shortly before or during the trip are identified. The costs of the
test are borne by the travelers. Non-vaccinated third-country
nationals wishing to enter the Schengen area from countries or regions
considered to be at risk are prohibited from entering Switzerland for
temporary stays without work for up to 90 days in any 180-day period,
with the exception of certain exceptions ( cases of hardship). This is
particularly true for tourism and visiting stays. The list of
countries and regions at risk is shown in Annex 1 of COVID-19
ordinance 3 and is continuously updated on the basis of the
recommendations of the European Commission for Schengen States.
The travel check tool has not yet been updated to reflect this change.
