The Swiss Federal Council has approved a proposal to relax its entry requirements for arrivals from the Schengen Area and third countries.

The decision will become effective on June 26, Sunday, and from then on, travellers reaching Switzerland from any of the Schengen Area countries will no longer have to go through quarantine.

Vaccinated travellers from these countries will also be exempt from the requirement of negative COVID-19 test results. Only those who haven’t been vaccinated or haven’t recovered from COVID-10 reaching Switzerland through the air will have to present negative COVID-19 test results, SchengenVisaInfo.com reports.

According to a press release of the Federal Council announcing the simplification of the current Coronavirus containment measures, all those arriving by plane, vaccinated and non-vaccinated, will still have to provide their contact details.

“In addition, Switzerland is easing the existing entry restrictions for persons arriving from third countries who can prove they have been vaccinated. The list of countries issued by the State Secretariat for Migration (SEM) has been amended accordingly,” the press release further notes, highlighting that it is now possible for travellers from countries as the US, Albania and Serbia to enter Switzerland.

At the same time, the Federal Office of Public Health will revise the current list of high-risk countries, which will then include only countries and regions with a worrying virus variant.

Yet, travellers from countries with a virus variant will still be permitted to enter Switzerland without quarantine and testing if they have been vaccinated against COVID-19 or who have recently recovered from the virus.

Whereas those who haven’t been vaccinated and haven’t been infected with the virus recently are obliged to present a negative PCR test or rapid antigen test and go into quarantine on entry.

The Federal Office explains that this decision has been taken after the Swiss health authorities asserted that “the vaccines used in Switzerland are only slightly less effective against the Delta variant and thus still offer a very high level of protection.”

Currently, the list of countries with a worrying COVID-19 variant includes:

Brazil
India
Canada
Nepal
South America
United Kingdom
The Federal Council has also adopted two EU regulations on the EU COVID-19 Vaccination Certificate and has also launched the process to have the Swiss certificate recognised by the EU.

In its attempts to reopen the borders, the Swiss government has also started reopening its visa application centres abroad, including those in the Philippines, Thailand, India, Singapore, and more.

5 precautions to keep in mind for air travel in the times of Covid-19.

With the current safety concerns set to stay for the foreseeable future, here is a list of precautions that a passenger should keep in mind while travelling by air.

Double Mask up for maximum protection:

With the second wave of coronavirus spreading ferociously, people have realised the importance of doubling up the protection. Is double mask safer than a single mask? Indeed, studies done by Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) state that double masking can reduce one's exposure to the virus by up to 95 per cent. The CDC recommends layering a cloth mask over a surgical mask. Avoid combinations such as two surgical masks, or a K95/N95 and any other mask.

Minimal contact clothing:

Such testing times require cautious approach even while choosing your outfit for air travel. It is advisable to cover your body as much as possible, so track suits are a good option. Travellers should also avoid wearing open toed shoes to ensure minimal contact. Wearing goggles can also add a protective layer for your eyes. It is also advisable to wear socks so that your bare feet don't touch the airport floor during security check.

Reduce, Disinfect your baggage:

The more the merrier? This saying has gone for a toss, at least while travelling during the Covid crisis. Despite safety protocols in place, your bag will pass through several channels and people from check-in to the final destination. It is advisable to check-in fewer bags. In the event that reducing the baggage is unavoidable, it should be thoroughly cleaned using disinfectant wipes after the journey. Apply sanitizing gel to a tissue and make sure to wipe the handles and bottom of the luggage.

Edging towards the window seat:

A window seat could come with an extra jab of protection owing to the less exposure and movement of passengers, and thus avoiding unnecessary contact. A person sitting in the window seat will essentially reduce the number of people within your 6-foot exposure radius by half. An aisle seat should be avoided as travellers tend to visit washrooms, touch surfaces and walk by, increasing one's exposure to the virus. So make sure that you book your ticket and seat way in advance.

Maintaining distance and hygiene over the course of the journey:

It is difficult to give up on a sip or two of water throughout the course of the journey. With Covid around, it is advisable to carry your own bottle to minimise contact with people, which is a possibility at the point of sale. While there is very little you can do on the plane to maintain distance, ensure that you keep your distance from people in the terminal. Walk around the terminal while you're waiting for your flight as the seating area could be a point of infection. It is also advisable to clean and use disinfectant wipes for surfaces such as the tray table or in-flight entertainment systems that you will be using in the flight. Similarly, precautions should be taken while accessing washrooms at airports and on flights, including using elbows to open the doors. It is advisable to stay away from washrooms that are crowded.

While it may not be possible to avoid all points of contact, the current global crisis merits a heightened sense of caution, and it is important for travellers to be aware of their surroundings and take all possible necessary precautions from their end to ensure a safe journey. It is also advisable to look up state wise air travel guidelines and notifications for domestic travel and Countrywise guidelines and notifications for international travel to ensure that one is up to date with all necessary travel and airline information.
