In order to avoid false alarms, the hospital management of the St. Gallen Cantonal Hospital advised not to activate the Swiss Covid app while working in the hospital, a hospital spokesman told the news portal «FM1Today».

The hospital is concerned that the nursing staff may be unnecessarily quarantined or tested. The Corona warning app does not indicate when and where you were in the immediate vicinity of an infected person. The nursing staff is trained in dealing with infected people and is therefore considered to be protected during work.

So far only clinic
The St. Gallen Cantonal Hospital is the first known clinic to have issued such a recommendation. There is no national guideline. The national umbrella organization of public and private Swiss hospitals, clinics and nursing institutions H + is not aware of any other cases, as a spokesman for the association said at the request of the Keystone-SDA news agency. It is within the competence of the individual institutions to adopt such rules if necessary.
