The trees are in bloom, the sun is shining, the mild temperatures lure you outside. And great is the temptation to drive in the mountains or at the lake.
But the Federal Council has called on the population to this now to. This April, not April like everyone else, will Federal councillor Alain Berset (47, SP) warned. And Daniel cook (64), the top disease-fighter, made it clear on Thursday: The current weekend serves as a test-run for the Easter days. In other words: If the population does not waive any excursions, and instead be joyful in Switzerland and travels around or in large groups, threatens for Easter, in the worst case a curfew.
at Least yesterday, Saturday, have followed the Swiss rules, for the most part and distance kept, as the news Agency Keystone-SDA reports. So have been distributed in Bern, Basel and Lucerne, a few buses, while police in St. Gallen since Friday afternoon, 39-times had to intervene. A note on the well-being of the citizens, a survey conducted by the Link Institute from Wednesday, 25 supplies., until Tuesday, 31. March, was carried out in and around 1300 people took part.
recommendations
complied with this shows that the population is still willing to adhere to the official specifications. Nine out of ten respondents indicate that they implement the recommendations of the Federal office for health, still consistently.
an Astonishing 98 percent avoid shaking hands. 94 percent not to travel, 87 percent keep away from public transport. And, although the people lose their fear of the Coronavirus increasingly also, the survey shows. Only 17 percent of the Swiss-German feel of the lung disease threatens. In the previous week, there were still 27 percent. Only in Ticino, the concern is unchanged in size. The half has almost all the respondents fear for their health.
in fact, the situation in the Südkanton remains tense, the fear of a further increase in the numbers of cases, large. So large that the Ticinesi have called their Swiss-German country people currently and to over the Easter holidays – to Ticino.
60 bookings for Easter
If the population is to keep in mind, it is difficult to predict. A few signs suggest, however, that the onslaught in the South and in the mountains in limits is expected. So E-Domizil, an online brokerage for apartments listed, currently just 60 bookings for the cantons of Ticino, Valais and Graubünden.
In the week before, the company counted 300 Easter bookings, as it says on request. “We expect that in the next few days, the number of active bookings for Easter in Ticino, Valais and Grisons,” according to a spokeswoman. Especially since most of the active Postings “in process” are – you with guests and owners looking for a alternative date.
a step further, Interhome, a competing company, also provides apartments and Hotels is. There are up to 30. April no bookings possible; all previous were cancelled.
No car rentals on Easter
this is a slow period also distributors for the Car. “There is currently no demand for short-term rentals at Easter,” says Roberto Delvecchio, Director of marketing at Hertz. And: “I don’t assume that this will change in the next few days.” In the case of Mobility one finds for the Easter days also no additional Postings.
In contrast to the Ticino, the mountain cantons of Graubünden and Valais have, apart from tourists and second home owners Aden explicitly to be read. Graubünden calls instead, both of the Grisons and the Swiss, in General, to stay at home. “You spend your leisure in your municipality of Residence” is the haunting appeal.
so strictly you don’t want to be in Davos, GR. Finally, the second home owners had a home here, says town clerk Michael Straub. As long as they kept to the official rules, no Problem. “On the contrary: it is probably easier, out to find a place than in the city.” Of course, there is in Davos, places that were well attended. “So far, the population adheres to the distances, a good one, so the police had to intervene.”
