FOPH combats test fatigue with updated campaign
The Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH) is launching a new campaign on Sunday to encourage people to get tested. There are enough tests available and case numbers are declining, but too few people have been getting tested recently.
On Friday, the FOPH announced that it was launching a new campaign in the Sunday press. All people with symptoms should get tested, the FOPH said. Rod Kommunikation is also responsible for these new subjects.
The cantonal physicians and the FOPH are also working on recommendations regarding behavior over the holidays, which they still want to communicate to the population. The cantonal physician of Basel-Stadt, Thomas Steffen, recommended to the media of the Federal Parliament a precautionary withdrawal in the run-up to the festival in the sense of a pre-quarantine.
Christmas gifts would be better to buy now to reduce contacts. Then you can also invite the grandparents on the day itself. However, he does not recommend "ten around a pot" at the traditional fondue chinoise. One set per family and enough distance is better. (SDA)
