For those following the situation in Switzerland, the isolation period has been reduced from 10 to 5 days.
At its meeting today, the Federal Council also decided to reduce the
duration of solitary confinement from ten to five days from tomorrow,
Thursday 13 January. As before, in order to get out of isolation a
person must be symptom-free for at least 48 hours. The cantons may
provide for exceptions to ensure security of supply.Contact quarantine will also be reduced to five days. It will also be
limited to those who live in the same household or who, similarly,
have regular and close contact with a person who has tested positive.
People who have received the last dose of the vaccine or have
recovered for less than four months are exempt from quarantine. Even
for the quarantine of contacts, the cantons may provide for exceptions
to ensure security of supply.
Items in consultation (to be decided later) include extending the 2G rule for some indoor places until March 31 and shortening the period of validity of COVID certificates from 365 days to 270 days.
