The Federal Council wants to relax the home office rules. As of May 31, the obligation is to become a recommendation again. However, only for companies that have their employees tested once a week. The federal government bears the costs for this. If an employer does not want to take on the effort, the home office obligation remains until everyone in Switzerland who wants to have been vaccinated. This should continue into the summer.
The Federal Council is sending these proposals for consultation, and a final decision is to be made on May 26th. Is the big return coming to the offices in the canton of Bern? That remains questionable. On request, large employers in the canton of Bern at least express themselves cautiously. The effort for the tests is great and a recommendation to work from home still applies.
