Switzerland—New entry requirements (2nd test no longer required for vaccinated or recovered)

Posted by (Chicago) on

Only one test on entry for persons who are vaccinated or recovered

After consulting the cantons, the Federal Council has also adapted the testing regime for entering the country, applicable from Monday, 20 December. In addition to PCR tests taken within the previous 72 hours, rapid antigen tests taken within the previous 24 hours will also be accepted for entering Switzerland. The requirement to take a second test 4 to 7 days after entering the country will be waived for persons who are vaccinated or have recovered from COVID-19.

Also of note, 2G for restaurants and 2G+ for bars.

Thanks, Carrie, for continuing to keep on top of this and keep us informed. We are headed into Switzerland from Italy in mid-January (non-optional trip for daughter's final exams) and your updates have been very helpful.

Hi Nelly, Even though my return to Switzerland is not for a long 6 months, I can’t help but continue to keep track of the happenings in my favorite country. 😊
