HELPFUL RESOURCES, WEBSITES AND TIPS DURING SELF-ISOLATION GENEVA 

by Chené Koscielny 

As the novelty of self-quarantine and self-isolation starts to wear off and we realise we may be here for a while, we have to change the way we eat, shop, learn, work and entertain ourselves.

There is a massive overload of info on the web at the moment, so in this article we focus on ideas in Geneva that we’ve found useful and, where possible, we put forward local businesses – as they need our support right now.

Most importantly – PLEASE take this seriously for everyone’s sake –  #STAYHOME

If you can add more useful resources please contact us on info@thingstodoingeneva.ch

We will continue to update the info.

TOILET PAPER

helpful online resources for self-quarantine geneva

Finding toilet paper in Geneva is still hit and miss.

The stock is there, but because of panic buying the shelves empty very quickly after a delivery. Some stores are starting to restrict purchases to one package per customer. This is what we recently discovered on our trip to our local Migros this morning.

You can try smaller stores and service stations too.
