SWISS GOVT TO ALLOW VAACINATED INDIANS TO ENTER COUNTRY WITHOUT COVID -19 TEST OR QUARANTINE

  • 29/06/2021

As Switzerland relaxed COVID-related restrictions , the government's Federal Council of Public Health has informed that persons from countries with a variant of concern like India, who have been vaccinated or who have recovered from COVID-19, will be permitted entry without the need for a negative test or quarantine.

However, for those people who are arriving from a country with a variant of the virus of concern, they will be permitted entry as long as it is certain that the vaccination offers good protection. Those who have neither been vaccinated nor have recovered must present a negative PCR test or rapid antigen test and go into quarantine on entry, said the Federal Council.This means that persons who have been vaccinated or who have recovered do not have to produce a negative test even when travelling from countries where the Delta variant is widespread (such as India or the United Kingdom) and do not have to quarantine on entry.


A COVID-19 certificate allows people to resume certain activities and serves as evidence that an individual is either protected against the virus or it is highly unlikely that he/she is infectious.According to the Federal Council's line of action, everyday settings, such as public transport, retail, workplaces and training facilities, are where the use of the COVID-19 certificate is not planned in the ordinance.
