Travel test free: Chinese tourists at the Chateau de Chillon on Lake Geneva.
The Federal Council wrote in a statement that the epidemiological situation does not require testing for the time being. Due to the omicron variants circulating in China, he currently assumes a low risk for the population in Switzerland and for the Swiss health system. The risk of new, worrying variants emerging in China is no greater than anywhere else.
According to the Federal Council, people in Switzerland have a high level of protection against a serious course of the Covid 19 disease. In addition, the virus circulation in Switzerland is currently so high that a test requirement for a relatively small number of people who arrive by air directly from China, has hardly any influence on the spread of the virus in Switzerland.
