The Swiss government Friday ordered all bars, restaurants, cultural venues and sports facilities to close next week because of a surging number of coronavirus cases.
At a news conference, Health Minister Alain Berset said the new restrictions, which take effect Tuesday, are necessary because the situation in health facilities ”is not tenable in the long term.”
The government will also restrict the number of people who can be inside stores, which must close after 7 p.m. and on Sundays and public holidays. (VOA)
