Swiss voters have firmly backed the law behind the country’s Covid pass in a referendum, following a tense campaign that saw unprecedented levels of hostility. Early results on Sunday showed about two-thirds of voters supported the law, with market researchers GFS Bern projecting 63% backing. Results from 16 of Switzerland’s 26 cantons showed 61.9% had voted in favour of the law, on a 64% turnout. The law provides the legal basis for the Covid certificate indicating that a person has been vaccinated or has recovered from the disease. Some 67% of the Swiss population is fully immunised, with a further 2% having had the first of two doses.
