...snipZURICH (Reuters) - Switzerland should tighten restrictions to curb the coronavirus again following a recent spike in cases, in order to prevent the need for much harsher lockdown measures in future, the new head of the country's coronavirus taskforce said.
Switzerland has seen the number of new cases of COVID-19 surge to more than 200 a day recently after an average of 35 per day in June.
Martin Ackermann, who heads the body that provides scientific advice to the Swiss government, said the country was on the brink of a big increase in infections and had little room to manoeuvre.
Over the last seven days, the total number of infections is 1,038, indicates the daily newsletter of the FOPH. Per 100,000 inhabitants, the incidence rate is 12.1. Since the start of the pandemic, 36,708 cases of Covid-19 contamination have been confirmed in the laboratory out of a total of 842,509 tests carried out.
