The quarantine letter already received from the Cantonal Doctor’s Office defines the first day to count down the five days of quarantine, underlines the canton. This document is also authentic with employers to determine the daily allowances to which employees can claim due to the quarantine measure carried out, he specifies.
Quarantine and isolation measures can also be adapted for “a whole range of areas of activity of great importance to society”. These people may even qualify for an automatic exemption from quarantine.
