From Saturday night: Freiburg, Neuchâtel, Vaud and Valais close down pickling | Switzerland

(of) The governments of the four cantons agreed on this step after intensive discussions, the authorities announced on Tuesday. The fact that the cantons of Bern, Jura and Geneva had already placed themselves under the federal regime had also been taken into account. Specifically, the restaurants have to close on Saturday from 11 p.m., in Valais already from 10 p.m.

According to the four cantonal governments, the measure taken also takes into account developments such as the stabilization of the number of cases at a high level and the latest mutation in the virus. In addition, it is impossible for individual cantons of western Switzerland to make use of the exceptions under federal law.

Last Friday, the Federal Council decided to close all restaurants starting today, Tuesday. He made exceptions for cantons with lower case numbers.
