Switzerland Plans to Reduce Quarantine Process

Switzerland's health authorities have put forward a plan to shorten the country’s quarantine requirement from 10 to seven days. Swiss Health Minister Alain Berset produced a 'test and release' plan which enables a person in quarantine will be able to take a test on the 6th day of the quarantine process.

If the COVID-19 test is negative, the person can end the quarantine on the 7th day.

And on October 16, 2020, Switzerland announced an agreement with AstraZeneca to pre-order up to 5.3 million doses of AZD1222 Covid-19 vaccine candidate that is currently under development.
