WHAT WILL REOPEN NEXT IN GENEVA?
If the coronavirus situation in Switzerland continues to improve and the COVID-19 vaccine becomes more widely available, they will look at reopening additional sectors. Every month the conseil fédéral will reevaluate the situation, starting with activities where mask-wearing and social distancing is possible, or if the activity can take place outdoors.
