On 24 November 2021, Switzerland’s Federal Council announced no tightening of Covid measures in the face of rising cases. On Wednesday, 8,585 new cases were reported in Switzerland, a figure 35% higher than the day before. In the UK, another nation with high case numbers that has decided like Switzerland not to tighten measures, cases are not currently rising as steeply. However, there is a risk that higher cases numbers lead to increased numbers of vulnerable people becoming infected, so we must remain cautious, said Berset. A number of cantons in this part of Switzerland have vaccination rates under 60%, below the national average of 67%.
