While Switzerland is analysing countries based on the rate infection to add to its quarantine list, last week, Switzerland was added to Belgium’s “red zone” due to a surge in the number of new COVID-19 cases.

On July 20, Swiss authorities decided to relax some of its entry restrictions, for citizens coming from 21 countries considered epidemiologically safe regarding COVID-19.

On July 6, the country’s government permitted third-country citizens to enter the Swiss as part of efforts to relax some of its restrictions, imposed amid the pandemic.

As of 3 August, travellers from high-risk countries who have a partner in Switzerland may enter the country provided evidence of their relationship can be given.
