Travellers from Qatar will no longer be required to undergo quarantine upon arrival in Switzerland as the country has been removed from the Swiss list of COVID-19 high-risk countries.
Besides Qatar, Switzerland removed Palestine, Poland Serbia, the French regions of Bretagne and Nouvelle-Aquitaine, the Italian region of Basilicata and the Austrian provinces of Upper Austria and Salzburg.
Switzerland’s Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH) said all arrivals from the above-mentioned countries and regions will still need furnish a negative PCR test result obtained 72 hours before entering Switzerland.
Moreover, the ones that do not possess a negative COVID-19 test result must undergo testing in Switzerland using a PCR or a rapid antigen test.
In contrast, all persons arriving in Switzerland from a country on the high-risk list, including vaccinated travellers, must stay self-isolated for 10 days, SchengenVisaInfo.com reports.
However, Switzerland plans to abolish its quarantine requirement for travellers who have received the vaccine and those who have recovered from the Coronavirus.
