The sharp rise in coronavirus cases in Switzerland since the end of June worries local experts and authorities. The average daily increase in the number of cases has exceeded 100 people over the past seven days, while in the first half of last month this figure was about 20 people.

Experts interviewed by the press talk about the beginning of the second wave of the pandemic and propose to introduce as a rule mandatory wearing of protective masks in shops and schools. At the moment, the requirement to use them only applies to public transport passengers in Switzerland, and in addition, masks are mandatory in stores in two cantons of the country.

“The second wave is coming to Switzerland. We are seeing a trend towards an increase in infection, ”said Andreas Cerny, an infectious disease specialist from a hospital in Lugano, in an interview with the information portal“ 20 minutes”.
