12.11.2020 – Have you tested positive for coronavirus? Or have you been in close contact with someone who has tested positive? Visit the Isolation and Quarantine site to find out what to do.
Isolation and quarantine
With numbers of infections so high at the moment, cantonal offices are under a lot of strain. If the office responsible for contact tracing in your canton doesn’t contact you promptly:
- If you’ve tested positive, please go into isolation of your own accord; inform everyone you’ve had close contact with.
- If you’ve been in close contact with someone who has tested positive, please go into quarantine of your own accord.
You can find out what’s meant by “close contact” at What to Do After Contact with a Person Who Has Tested Positive.
Isolation and quarantine enable us to contain the spread of coronavirus by breaking chains of infection.
