Coronavirus: Free tests for those waiting for second vaccine dose

Bern, 24.9.2021 - People who have already received one dose of vaccine are to continue to be able to get tested free of charge until the end of November in order to obtain a COVID certificate. The Federal Council adopted a proposal to that effect at its meeting on 24 September and launched a consultation. In order to allow sufficient time for the consultation the Federal Council will continue to cover test costs for all for a further ten days until 10 October. The Federal Council also intends to make it easier for tourists to obtain a COVID certificate by setting up a national registration office.
