The hygiene measures for retail trade are based on the cantonal regulations. Masks are still compulsory in indoor areas accessible to the public.

Events to which only visitors with Covid certificates are admitted can be held without limits. This means that large events with more than 10,000 people can be held.

• seated: maximum 1,000 people (indoors and outdoors)
• standing/moving: maximum 250 people indoors, maximum 500 people outdoors.
• The event facility may be filled to a maximum of two-thirds of its capacity.
• No masks are required outside

With the start of summer season, the federal government's special provisions for ski resorts were withdrawn. For the mountain railroads, the protection concepts from last summer will presumably apply again. Thus, the mask obligation will apply as it does for public transport.

As was the case last summer, the mountain railroads plan to not fully utilize the maximum capacity of closed cabins where possible and instead operate more frequently to prevent crowding.

The usual measures apply: bathrooms, kitchens, door handles, light switches, remote controls, telephones, etc. will be disinfected, and the laundry will be cleaned by the Laundry & Cleaning Service.
