The Federal Council has opted for a turbo easing. From May 11, 2020, the primary and secondary schools will be open again, you can go shopping in the shops, eat in the restaurant, visit museums or libraries and play sports. Public transport is also starting up again. What exactly is allowed now? And what remains forbidden? VIEW gives an overview.
–
Which restaurants are allowed to open? All. The Federal Council deliberately decided not to differentiate between bars and restaurants – special regulations would not be implementable in this detail, said Federal Councilor Alain Berset (48). However special rules apply: A maximum of four people are allowed per table, all guests must sit and there must be a distance of two meters between the tables.
–
When can I go to the bathroom? Swimming pools are expected to reopen on June 8th. They are opened earlier only for club sports.
–
Can I go to the cinema again? No. Cinemas, theaters and zoos are expected to reopen on June 8th.
–
Do we still have to stay at home? The Federal Council has again called for contacts to be avoided despite the impending easing. However, the federal government is aware that the number of people in public spaces is increasing. “But the federal government can monitor the effects on the infection rate,” says the Federal Office of Public Health (BAG). Particularly vulnerable people should remain at home as much as possible – this will not change either with the easing on April 27th or with the one from May 11th.
–
Can I invite friends to dinner? Dinners in small, private circles are not prohibited, writes the BAG. However, it is recommended to reduce the social contacts to a minimum and always to keep the distance and hygiene rules.
–
Does the ban on assembly continue to apply to more than five people? Yes. This ban is expected to be relaxed on June 8. Large events with over 1000 people remain prohibited until the end of August. The date was chosen, among other things, because various neighboring countries had chosen the same period.
–
When can we shake hands again? It is difficult to predict when you can shake hands and hug friends again. “But physical contact with people who do not live in the same household should continue to be avoided,” said the BAG. You will live longer with these restrictions.
–
Do I have to work in the home office? The Federal Council recommends continuing to work in the home office. However, he cannot force employers to leave employees in the home office.
–
Do I have to pay with a card? No. Paying with notes or coins is also possible and does not represent an increased risk of infection.
–
Are children allowed to play with each other? Yes, but only in groups of a maximum of five children. The parents must adhere to the distance rules.
–
Do the children have to go to school? Yes. Compulsory schooling applies. If the parents are among the most vulnerable, “schools can find individual solutions,” says the BAG.
–
Are senior citizens allowed to go to the hairdresser? Yes. Even people who are particularly at risk are not prohibited from going to the hairdresser or to the hardware store. However, the federal government recommends avoiding such visits.
–
Are adults allowed to visit their parents? People who are particularly at risk must continue to be protected. “Adults should only visit their parents if they need support that they cannot otherwise get.” The federal government continues to recommend that the cantons prohibit visits to retirement and nursing homes. BAG’s Daniel Koch said at the media conference that these recommendations would be looked at.
–
Can I get infected when I walk past a person? It depends on the duration. If you cross an infected person quickly, infection is unlikely, the BAG writes.
–
Can I take a train? As of May 11th, public transport will be back to normal. In peak times, however, public transport should not be used if possible. And otherwise only in compliance with the hygiene measures. “The BAG continues to recommend particularly vulnerable people to avoid public transport as much as possible.”
–
Can I go to the sea during the summer vacation? Probably not. At the media conference, the Federal Councils swore the population to go on vacation in Switzerland. But: “A forecast at the current time is difficult,” said Justice Minister Karin Keller-Sutter (56).
