Health in Bern has announced that all newcomers to Switzerland from Spain are now subject to a mandatory 10-day COVID-19 quarantine.
Patrick Mathys, head of crisis control at the Federal Office of Public Health, said in Bern that the resolution would take effect from Saturday. The measure excludes the Spanish Balearic islands and Canary Islands.
“For the first time we did not put an entire country on the list,” Mathys said on Wednesday.
While Swiss government authorities have added mainland Spain to its list ‘quarantine required’ countries, Russia, Azerbaijan and the United Arab Emirates were removed from the list.
