According to Swiss law, anyone who has been vaccinated, has recovered from or has recently tested negative for the SARS-CoV-2 virus should be able to obtain a Covid certificate.
The certificates, which will be in paper and smartphone formats, must be designed so that the information is held only in the certificate and at the place where the person was tested or vaccinated. The certificate must also be internationally compatible.
The government said it had consulted with the cantons, the Swiss Medical Association, Pharmasuisse, vaccinating doctors, pharmacies and experts in the field and had examined around 50 proposals. Over the next few weeks, organisations that will issue and check the certificates will also be invited to participate.
