The current swiss strategy for responding to SARS-CoV-2
The strategy is based on:
- The protection of the population thanks to vaccination
- Physical distancing (and wearing a mask in at-risk zones) to limit the transmission of the virus and protect the most vulnerable.
- A rapid diagnosis of the largest possible number of infected persons.
- Identifying and quarantining all persons in contact with COVID-19 cases or returning from an area of high infectious risk.
For the general public
A tool to rapidly assess your risk (or that of your child) and understand how to react accordingly
If you are wondering for example:
"Should I call my doctor or go to a medical facility if I think I am infected ?"
"Am I or is my child at risk?"
For health professionals
If you are a primary healthcare provider and want to know:
"What are the criteria that would require my patient to get tested?"
"Do I have to take special precautions during a consultation with a patient who has a cough or a fever? "
"Can I work if I have a cough or a fever myself or if I am in a risk group?"
