Obligatory quarantine in Switzerland – what about drivers?
From March 22, Poland will be included in the Swiss list of countries and areas with an increased risk of infection.
Anyone who has stayed in a high-risk country or region in the last 10 days is obliged to report this fact to the cantonal authorities after arriving in Switzerland and go into quarantine, regardless of their citizenship.
The following persons are exempt from the testing and quarantine requirement:
• people travelling on business for an important reason that cannot be postponed.
• People travelling for an important medical reason that cannot be postponed.
• Transit passengers who have spent less than 24 hours in a state or area with an increased risk of infection.
• Transit passengers who enter Switzerland for the purpose of transiting the country.
• People who in the course of their professional activities transport passengers or goods across borders.
Exemptions from the testing requirement apply when crossing the border, but not when boarding an aircraft. The list of countries and areas with an increased risk of infection is compiled by the Federal Office of Public Health and regularly updated.
